go with 3.73s, they are best of both worlds.

i installed new gears on thursday and test drove and programed with hyper tech programer, car feels faster but i noticed that it shifts faster at very low speeds, im doing about 30 and its already going to 4th, it shifts faster from 2 to 3rd, some said i should replace my speed sensor since i have new gears, i didnt adjust my shift points cuz im not sure how to. my speedo works fine now, i programed the gears and tire size (26.5). should i really change my sensor the ABS light doenst come on
