Yes it is absolutely worth it! After the swap you will ask yourself "Why didn't I do this sooner?" I wish I would have bought my car and the next week did the gear swap! It makes all the difference in the world. A definite change for the better!!

most would say it's worth it... although if you're a little skeptical you'd be fine with 373s too.

put 3.73's in my 02 and noticed a little difference, then went with 4.10's in my 98 10 bolt, then again when i bought my 12 bolt wouldnt change them for anything. BTW i also got 23mpg going on a road trip after putting them in to. that was running bout 75-85 the whole time.

For sure with a M6 car go 4.10 or 3.90. I wouldn't even consider a 3.73

i agree,... 4.10 is the way to go, personally anyways.

I just threw the 373s out there cuz it's probably the next preferred gear set.

Do the 3.42's hold up better then the 4.10's or is it just a matter of time with either the 3.42's and 4.10's?

I love it on the NA current motor setup I have now...but I think when I go FI Im going to have to go with another set of gears so I can see full boost or close to it in the lower gears
