I know there are numerous amounts of posts on here on which type of gears to get. I decided to do gears first before doing the suspension. I have a few questions.
1. I plan to use my car as a daily driver and I also do a lot of highway driving. I called up a local shop and they told me that 3.73 is the way to go and that 4.10 is to much for the daily driver. Anyone else beg to differ?
2. How much of a difference will I notice going from the stock gears to 3.73? I am looking for more torque and pickup at this point.
3. Would 3.90 gears be more worth it rather then 3.73's?
4. Is it recommended to replace the driveshaft after upgrading gears or can the stock driveshaft hold up to new gears? I noticed that brenspeed only has one aluminum which is rather expensive. Any other recomendations?
5. I have decent experience with working on cars. Is a gear install easy enough for the average joe or is this something a pro needs to do?
6. Do I need to get the 8.8" Master Shim Kit with Bearings from brenspeed as well as gears?
7. How will my gas mileage be affected?
Thanks guys!!!
