Hello guys

Just woundering if the deals on evil bay are good. I was looking at 3.73 gears for my car and there are deals for $110(like drive train speacialist). Do u think its worth the extra $60 to get Richmonds?

The cheeper one claims to be also CNC done etc. Does any one have any on hand experience with these?

Thanks

No experience, but the machining, while important is not the most important, material is. No matter how well machined the gears are, if the material is brittle or too soft for your application you will have problems.

Spend the money for a decent set.

I personally don't like Richmonds if it's for drag racing. Too brittle, IMO. U.S. Gear is the best for racing.

I picked up a set of GM 3.73 new never used for 90. So keep looking within a week or so you can find a good deal.
