Go to GnJ autosports in Milpitas, They did mine and have been doing Gears and other stuff for well over Ten years and Use to work at another REputable shop and started his own.

I guess I could sell them and get 3.73's but I used the freeway enough to not want them. I thought the 3.55's would be a good medium. Won't they still make a huge difference? I'm not really every at the track and I don't tear around town all that much. Thanks for the shop info!!

You'll feel a difference for sure...but you'll probably be like, "That's it? [Confused] " And then you'll wish you had more.

That may be so...at least they are only a couple hundred dollars. the 3.55's I got for $135. with the little mods I have now its more power than anything I have driven before...I have only honda accords and cars like that to compair to so 3.55 should be alright for the time being. thanks for all the advise!!! i'm starting to wonder if I should have went with the 3.73's oh well.

Ya, 3.55's are decent but its hardly anything. I use to have 3.73's and I loved them alot. I have 4.10's and I love these ones as well. but honestly in my own opinion u should have gotten some 3.73's. I live in San Jose and use to drive up 680 to work in Fremont. 3.73's were great on the highway, I use to race a Black 95'Porsche on 680 all the time and I pulled on him easyily with the gears @65MPH(of course i would down shift). Now with 4.10's that even great to. My bro "J's DDLY SNK" has 4.30's, I thought that was crazy but he says its not even as bad as everyone thought is was going to be. Well, hope you like the gears.
