Question Richmond or GM/Motive gears?

i have been told that Richmond are a stronger gear than motive but whine louder. I just want to know which one will last on a daily driven street car that sees the track once or twice every 3 months or so. thanx in advance

I had much better luck with Richmonds. I tore up 5 sets of Motives in 7 weeks.

I put the Richmonds in....they're SILENT after 2 years! Set 'em up perfect, and you'll forget you have aftermarket gears.

I have Richmond 3.73s. They have been in for 3 years now and are still going strong. They do whine a bit at/above 55MPH but its not noticable at all.
