I don't know if this will help you but last year I put in a 4.10:1 ring and pinion.
My only mods are :SLP lid,smooth bellows,K&N filter,descreened MAF,home ported throttle body and Flowmaster exhaust.It has a six speed and stock tires.The car is so much more fun to drive (big time seat of the pants difference).The best part is I drove it on a 1,000 mile round trip to Missouri last October and averaged 27 mpg driving at an average speed of 75mph.I couldn't believe it myself.If you wanted to intall a 4.56:1 set-up you actually
could get away with that also.The only downside to all this is if you plan on racing the car alot, don't waste your money on the stock rear-end.Invest in a
12 bolt or 9 inch.Bottom line is if you only race it occasionally then go 4.10s or 4.56s and have alot of fun on the street.
I hope this helps. Brian

If it's a daily driver I would say 4.10's I don't think I could deal with 4.56's everyday. One of my friends on here has 4.30's in his A/4 now a A/3 I think and I don't see how he does it. He drives it to the track and don't even worry about it. Don't think it's his DD but it was for a while.

I have 3.89s in my A4 and its not too bad. Depends on the size of the tires also. Is this on a stock 10 bolt??? If so any gear over stock is a bad idea. Just get 4.10s when you buy your new rear.
If your wanting to put them in your 10 bolt, youll find that your biggest problem will be finding a medium between breaking the tires loose and breaking the rear loose
