I just had 3.73s installed and I had 3.23s, I havn't gotten my spedometer re-calibrated yet. Any ideas as to how far off it is?

hey man, how much did they cost, what brand u got and most importantly, did it feel like a whole new car? Sorry, im in the same boat, ive got 3.23s in my A4 and want some 3.73s!! Was the price outrageouse on the install? how are they on the highway as far as driveability?

Not to steal the thread... but how are you only running a 13.7?

Freebie. My father has a 10sec formula and he upgraded rear ends so I got his old strange 12bolt and it has 3.73s in it. So I have no idea what brand the gears are or how much the cost but I can say by switching gears it made it a totally different car. As far as drivability goes its a hell of alot easier to spin the tires and Im sure its not helping my gas mileage.
