damn everyone's full of bad news. man you were just saying you swore by fuddles, now you don't like them and now you hate tci..? if i was rich, i'd get a yank.. but i'm not so i've got to settle and this was a good find at a good price given my budget

i've personally heard vigi's are ok, yank is the best, circle d custom converters are great, never heard anything about fuddles till tonight, and tci's are ok as well.. that's what i've gathered over the years

i have 3.42 in a stock 10 bolt cutting 1.4x 60'....
373 410 all your doing is sacarficing top end and the ability to leave hard...because they will break easier...from a roll i dont really like gears that much and if you can leave wit hthe 60' you want id gowith longer gears for the 10 bolt...3.23 or 3.42

This is not true.. Maybe for you it might but for 95% of other A4 guys will run 3:73's and love it.
I dont even get into 4th at the track so I have plenty of top end. On the highway its fine for me runnin ~2200 rpm at ~65 mph. Plus, 3:73's will make the verter not seem so loose on the street.. Breaking a 10 bolt easier with 3:73's?? Total BS, its a 10 bolt and its gonna break with 2:73's!
