Got my 4.10s in! I got a deal on a whole rear end with Motive 4.10s, BMR LCA relocation brackets welded on and a TA girdle. I got the rear in with minimal problems and all I can say is WOW! The car feels much more lively.
I was used to my 93' formula that had 3.73's with a tranny that had a 3.32 1st gear ratio (M28) so the stock TA gearing was just not enough. 1st gear felt like it took forever and it just felt sluggish compared to what I used to have (even though I know it is faster than the formula).
The car has not lost any drivability. As said before, these gears make 6th gear more useful around 60-65 mph. Around town you may notice shifting just a little earlier than before (in reference to mph) but is not too noticeable.
The car pulls so much harder than before that it literally surprised the hell out of me. So to all you guys who are thinking of gears for an M6, get them. You will not be dissatisfied!

ele-blue95 that's one of the best looking Camaro ***'s I've seen. My Silver 98 is exactly the same but I have CME as well. I love the blue/black combo!

Yeah I got it out myself and then got a little help with putting the new one in. I had to swap axles over and also backing plates. Then I had to plug the hole on the top of the pumpkin because it was a 3 channel rear.
