Default 5.1 FD Gearset
I was gonna go with Hardtopguy's 4.77 diff, but now my interest in the supposed 5.10 set has peaked. Does anyone on here know where I can order a set from?
Any info is appreciated.

With a 5.1 you will be averaging 10 mpg on the freeway. Dont you think it is a little too extreme?

5.1's would be insane. I'd like to see how it would run.

Just pretend you car doesnt have any gears after 4th. Now drive around on the highway for thirty minutes and report your impressions back here...

5.10's would be useless on a streetcar. Do 4.77's at the most.
