First, Special Thanks
go out to Brent Spencer (SPENCEB) of 2Kool Performance and Gilles Rochon - the mechanic. SPENCEB gave me some good prices on some FRPP 3.73s and Brothers Speed-Cal. And Gilles gave me a good price on the Install and was very helpfull through some car pain.
As For the Gears, WOW WHAT A DIFFERENCE!!
I can see why people say that 3.73s are an 'All Round' Great Gear to choose. You move so much quicker, and on the highway I just launch past cars when I go to pass. But the RPM are not too high at over 100km/h that I feel the cars is working too hard.
BUT, I can also see why some people may like the 4.10s. The car can take more gear, but I don't think I personally would like the 4.10s on the Highway. Even with the stock gear, when travelling down the highway, sometimes I'd be in 5th, and go to shift looking for a 6th, then quickly realize that I don't have one.
So, I made the right choice for me.
Gilles also made a set of Sub-Frame connectors for me. He bent and weld them on for a very good price.
But the gear change was not without it's little problems. When changing the gears, Gilles and I noticed that the Rear ABS Sensor was broken, the plastic housing was cracked, so $80 & a Day later it's fixed. THEN, when changing the ABS Sensor we noticed the Axle Seal was leaking and leaking bad, so a few days later and $10 in seals and some money for Gilles. That's all better. Nothing too serious, but these are things to consider for anyone else shopping around.
A Well Worth It Mod!!! I Highly Recommend It!!!
So, Next Mod? Suggestions?
I'm thinking Steeda Tri-AX Shifter and/or Strut Tower Brace.

But for N/A and not too much highway, 4:30 looks like the best ratio to me.
