Default 3.73's..that is the question

i want to put gears in my car and was wondering what some people thought. i really want 4.10's but i cant afford a new rear if it blows, so i was looking at 3.73s. do you even think it is worth changing from 3.42s to 3.73s.. will i see or feel a difference or should i just keep what i got..

Don't expect much at all. 4.10's will definetly be more radical. You'll get a little more snap, but not a whole lot.

If anything i would go 4.10s but it is a little risky. You want feel much difference going from 3.42s to 3.73s. Personally if i had an m6 i would save the money for a caminstall or something. Plus with your 100 shot your 3.42s will be alot more rewarding.

3.73 is IMHO a waste of time.Go 4.10

IMO 3.73 are better for A4 and 4.10 for M6. you have a 6th gear for highway driving anyway.

4.10s are definitely the way to go... that's what I have in my stock 10 bolt (with T/A Girdle) and have no complaints yet. I do suggest, however, to switch to a thicker rear end fluid if you go with 4.10s... I went with 80w140 from Redline, and mine are as quiet as the stock 3.42s now.

"3.73's..that is the question"

no no.
4.10's is the question
YES is the answer.

i would get 4.55's if i had FIVE gears

pumpkin mush?
hey.. the 10 bolts are a wear and tear item.
