A4 or M6? What are your Current mods and is it a daily driver? A4, I'd go with GM 3.73 and if it's a M6 I'd go with GM 4.10. Either way, I'd stick with GM gears.

I got my GM gears from a local shop. You might try Jaws gear & axle who is a sponsor on here. Definitely go with 3.73's

SLP=GM=AAM, they are all the same.

I personally have used Motive's a bunch of times and have had very good luck with them.

If it was not an A4 car I would say not to bother. 3.73's are nice 4.10's are fun. Depends if your setting the car up for the 1/4 mi.

Also converter choice is important and sometimes a bigger impact to bottom line results.
