Question Best brand for gears? And which gears?
What is the best brand gears summit racing carries? And should I go with, 3.73s or 4.10s with an A4 because Im in college and commute to school 10 miles. Will there be a noticeable diff between 3.23s and 3.73s?

Cool gears
Hi, I would try to find GM 3:73 gears. They are a little hard to find but work the best for me.

Motive 3.73s

Although I wouldn't waste money putting gears in a 10 bolt.

I myself am looking for either Motive or AAM brand gears. I think AAM made the gears for SLP cars and are harder to find.

4.10's will kill your gas mileage. Stick with 3.73

AAM are the strongest/quietest. Motive is next on that list

Keep the gears and get a converter. Best of both. I don't know why everyone hates on the 3.23 gears. I had 3.27 gears in my TTA and they were good enough to get to low 11's and still get 28mpg.
