GEARS $450

86-98 Mustang - 3.73 or 4.10 gears, speedo gear,

synthetic oil

Well this is what there website says... If this includes the gears then i think it's a good deal... If not then you could always try Crazy Horse in South Amboy. I dont know the number but im sure someone here can chime in with it.

I had mine installed last may by Larocca's and it cost 300 just for the install.(i supplied the gears) You can definetly find a cheaper place but i only chose them b/c i know that they are a reputable place and they know mustangs like the back of their hands.

I went to JDM in Freehold. They were great guys. I had them do gears 31 spline axels along with the housing unit subframe connectors and a superchip. I even got a chance to meet Evan Smith there!!!

n.j.gt-- I love my 3:73s. I did notice a difference at first but it was after i drove a stock 03 gt with stock gears and then went back to driving my car that i noticed the biggest difference. Honestly the highway isn't a problem. I did a lot of parkway and turnpike driving last summer and at 65 mph the car was right at 2000 rpm. There is more pull in 5th and the gears make it nicer for dropping into third when doing 65 and blowin past people. 3:73s made the car more fun, especially when cruisin and racing others, get them whenever u get ur car back on the road.

I think Mr. Driveshaft in Farmingdale told me 240.00 for the install. Last time I checked they were closed for renevations, though.

I am not sure how much for just the gear installs but you can give them a call 732-780-0770 or even check out their website teamjdm.com. I honestly was not that impressed with the 3.73's I feel that I should have gone 4.10's but everyone says that opinion will change when a power adder is installed. I can deffinately feel the difference between the stock and the 3.73's but it is not what I was hoping for.

I gotta agree with LaRocca's. Their not the cheapest, but they use FRPP gears and stand behind everything they do. Great customer support. Almost all my mods were done there.
