question about gear brands hello guys
being a new guy here and reading through the various threads on rear gears, i need some help determining with everyone's opinion, what gear maker to use for my 2000 ls1 a4 2.73 case. i'd really like to install a 4.10 set. the only mods are a k&n air filter and slp cover, a spl cat back exhaust, 160 t-mo with a hypertech adjuster box.
the car will never see drag slicks or a track, but will get it's w.o.t. punishment.
with the funds being some what restricted at this point in time, the 9 inch along with the 6.0 block (laying on the bench) project is on the back burner for now.
knowing gear failure is eminent in the future. what maker should i use? i'd like to use the smaller gear carrier as i have 2 spares. also can i use the some of the new oem bearings i have on hand with some of the a/f gear sets? also would a girddle help to make it last a while. any set up help would be great
thanks

You have the exact setup that I have, which means you have a series 2 carrier. That eliminates Motive. You can buy USgear/Strange that makes a "thick" gear for your series 2 carrier. I've heard from too many people that the Richmond is noisy, unless you can put up with it.
I'm changing the bearings and seals in the process with a kit. Hope this helps.
