Swapping a 95 model rear end complete into my car to get the rear disc goin, will I be dissapointed with the 3:27's that are in it?? My car has 3:08's in it right now...... I've only had dealings with the 3:08 or 3:73 in a 5 speed, just curious as to how these 3:27's will be

dont lisin, 3.27s are good gears with a 5speed, i hate my 373s, all you do is spin 1&2, unless you have slicks, get the disk rear i can take turns faSTeR cus the rears wider

I cant complain on the price for the complete rear end, I cant wait to get the other few odds and ends to complete the conversion, I know it's gonna be a kick ass difference compared to the fox brakes!

I went from my old 7.5 rear end with 2.73 gears to an 8.8 with 3.27s already in it and it was a pretty big difference. They're a pretty good gear (I can chirp 3rd) but I'm going with 3.73s in the spring.
