4.30's on highway? [Eek!]

4.10's will be fine on the highway if you like to drive 70mph. i would think 3.90's would be perfect

I would do the 4.10's if its your daily driver. i wouldnt go below that, our cars love the gear! you wont be disappointed and work on your 60' times. i was cutting 1.80's with my DOT's on my cobra with a slipping clutch.

Go 4.30's or go home. I've had both (4.30's in my current 98 Cobra, and 4.10's were in my last 98 Cobra), and the 4.30's are better for sure.

Don't bother with anything below 4.10's. Waste of money!!
