I was always told to stay with frpp for mustangs. Motive might be cheap but I'm not sure I would put them in my car.

Its not the regular Motive, its the Performance Plus gear, its a much stronger alloy. I'd probably say its as strong or stonger than the FRPP gear. It weighs 2 lbs more than the FRPP gears (stronger, if I had to guess).
Also, Motive gears don't have the whine of a Richmond gear. With proper installation they will be quiet, just like FRPP. The ONLY reason they are less expensive is because 1) My rep at Motive Gear gave me a bottomline price and I shared the savings and 2) Ford Motorsports Division makes more profit. Production cost, I would bet that Ford Motorsports gears are actually the "cheaper".
Both have pretty retail boxes and an identical basic shim kit.
I ordered 3.55s, 3.73s, and 4.30s from Motive this week, since the 4.10s I put up have been selling well. Oh, and I bought 4.10s for the V6 guys, is that the popular gearset for those? Whats the stock gear in a 99+ V6?

I did FRPP 4.10's. Prolly nothing wrong with Motive, but I just heard that with gears, stick with FRPPs. They are only like $20 more.

What about the 3:90s? FRPP doesn't offer this for the 8.8 and is the gear I'm seriously considering. I spoke to the installer and he likes Motive as well as FRPP, which is the only gear brand he carries and (usually) installs.

I have the Motive gears you are talking about, 4.10. No problems. I know many that run them in 600-800 hp cars, 1.20 sixty footers, not problems. You will not have any better or worse luck with FRPP gears.

I'm actually thinking of getting a set of 3.90s myself. The motives seem to be the way to go for the price that Mustangtuning.com has them for. Everybody I know who has Motive gears recommends them.
"You will not have any better or worse luck with FRPP gears.".... This guy is right on the money. I wasn't putting FRPP gears down or anything, besides saying that the difference in price possibly isn't worthwhile.
Whichever way anyone goes on this is fine. Both are probably identical in quality.

For the V6'ers, they usually stick to something around 3.73's for 5-speeds and 4.10's for auto's.
