  • what gears to get.....

    Ive been looking into new gears for a while and you guys know more about them than i do. so what would be lowest i could go? I drive on the highway quite a bit, and im not done with all my mods yet i plan on doing a little over the winter.
    If you guys can help me out it will be great

    thanks

    342s in my opinion. 3.08, 3.42, 3.73, 4.10 is the most common that youll see. dont get 410s just because theyre are the best and people suggest them. yea theyre the quickets for a 1/4 ET, but if you drive the highway some like ido, its not your best option specially if youre car is a daily driver, you need LSD too, keep that in mind.

        It just depends on what you plan on using the car for.

        Myself? I'm getting 4.10s because I don't even need to drive on the highway to get wherever I am going. Also, I'm looking for the quickest 0-60 and those low gears will really help me get there.

        3.42s would work for you if you do a lot of highway driving, but I think you could also get away with using 3.73s if you drive the speed limit on the highway.

          you probably have 3.08s. check the codes on the side of your door and check and then look at this.. right around GU_. then _ being a number.

                        Id say 4.10s but you say lots of highway so I sat 3.73s.

                          i think ill look into the 3.73s
                          if i bought the gears is there anything else i should get?
                          because when i do them im going to clean up my rearend and probably put a chrome cover on it as well.

                            you should get lsd if you dont already have

                            why do you need a 'chrome' rear cover? just for looks?

                            youre gonna need to retune your computer for the 3.73 gears
