A4 - 3:73's
M6 - 3:73 or 4:10s

Personally I love the 4:10s, if you drag at the track an oversize tire like 27 or 28" will give you a little more 4th gear through the traps.

Since you have a 93 I would stick with the 3.73 even for a manual since the tranny has shorter gears in first and second.

If you have the M29 M6, a 3.73 is going to be like a 4.10 in a 94+ because of the tranny gearing. If you put 4.10's it's going to be more like a 4.36 in a 94+. Guess which one I'll be going with??

2.73s

For an auto 3.73s work great, I'd do gears but I dont want to spend money on a rear end I'm going to have to replace at some point. I have a feeling his car is an auto.
