Finally saved enough money to get the little bad boys. I got the summit 3.73 installtion kit. Cost me $413 dollars but it should be worth every penny. I got some stronger joints to go with it.

well this car in staying pretty stock. I didn't want to low a gear. These also seem to be a favorite among automatic equipped cars too.

Are you doing the install yourself, or having a shop do it for you?

I just wondered.

I am getting 4:10's next week myself and I am getting a mustang only shop to do mine.

Let me know how you like your new gears...

I just got my 3.73's installed today

makes me very happy...and it got rid of all the howling, whirring, rattling noises that a 184,000 mile rear end makes too

Click to expand...

actually for automatics the 4.10 gearing is alot better than 3.73's, but if you want the gas mileage then 3.73's are a good choice

Had 3.73s installed in my 01 auto couple weeks ago. Made alot of difference. Dropped a few tenths in the 1/4 and engine isn't working as hard to pull the car around. Deffinately a good investment.
