I like my 4.10s, and with an M6 they're perfect. However, with an A4, I wouldn't go higher than 3.73s. In fact, I'd probably just go for the stock 3.42s that are found in the M6.

A friend got some 4.10's in his SS and loves them.

3.73's since you have an auto. A converter and those gears are a nice combo. It will be a little more reliable with the 3.73's in the 10 bolt.

3.73s, I love em man, Creates a slight traction issue, but that can be solved with tires. You should invest in a different converter that will really compliment the gears. Good luck man

i love my 4.10's man, after i installed them from 3.23's, it was a totally different car. horrible traction issues but i'm going to get a more verter and some tire and it'll rock even more which is kind of hard to imagine.

342s and a converter make for an awesome street gear.
