I tried to order stock gears , and it says on the site.

1- RING and PINION, Mustang, 3.27 Ratio - W/INDEPENDENT SUSP
2-RING and PINION, 8.8" Axle, 3.27 Ratio - W/O INDEPENDENT SUSP

now what the hell does it mean when they say Independant SUSP or w/o independant Susp??

In reference to the 99+ Cobra suspension. They have an independent rear suspension (IRS) as opposed to a solid rear axle.

You have a solid rear end, live-axle, non-IRS..


I didnt think the gears were different for IRS though, thats odd.

So if you have 3.73 gears why do you want to go back to 3.27?

How long have you had those 3.73 gears on? Why don't you want them?

I will even swap you for your gears if you want my stock gears. PM me...
