A lot of people like them, but I wouldn't buy them for the sole reason that FORD has never made gears in that ratio before....

I'm sorry, but I don't understand that logic? What does that have to do with the quality of the gears? [Confused]

You forgot to put 2.73's on that list man. Haha can you be;ive thatw hat my mustangs old gear ratio was? I went from 2.73's to 3.73's that was a huge jump. But your right there is to big of a jump from 3.73's to 4.10's. 3.90's is perfect.

Pro 5.0 also makes 3.90 gears. From what I've heard Ford will be releasing 3.90 gears sometime soon.

I have Motive 3.90's and they've been good to me. I got them shortly after they came out last year.

do you realize what I'd be going through the traps at with a 4.56 gear? REDICULOUS! You honestly need to be realistic and bigger is not always better
