I love them! Alot of people have said that motive gears have noise but I haven't had any problems once so ever. It is a good street gear that is not as extreme as 4.10's but still gets the job done. I have no complaints with the gearset at all.

I have had both and prefer 4.10s. Same mileage with 4.10's and a little better performance IMO. And 4.10's are $30 less for a gear set.

I think the force required to break 4.10s is also going to break 3.90s. It's not that big of a difference. Either way, you're going to want to baby launch 3.90s or 4.10s at the track
