changing diff. gears
Has anyone ever changed or thought about changing the diff. gears on a C5 A4 from the 3.15 to the 2.73 ratios ? If so did the change meet your expectations ? I know that the 3.15 gears are the performance gears but if a person primarily drives the open road then why not go for the longer gears ? Thanks for any opinions.

Only thing I have thought about doing is going from the 3.15s to a lower gear (3.42, 3.73 or 3.90). Never have considered going to the 2.73s.
