What brand differential would you guys recommend? I am considering 3:90 gears for my M6. Where can one get it installed in the Bay Area, CA? Thanks.

I put mine in when I decided to change my clutch and go with an aluminum flywheel. I was considering putting them in but wasn't ready to make the change. The installer talked me into them and I was nervous about it until I drove it, after breaking them in. I have openly thanked Chris for talking me into them, I think they were the single best investment I made in my car. They made it more drivable, at least as far as I'm concerned. All the issues stated above about utilizing all 6 gears is true. And gas mileage is around 24-26mpg on the highway.

Have 410s in the wifes A4. Love them! Makes it fun to drive. Also a little scary if you're not careful. Getting them in my MN6 this week. I think you should all stay with 342s. That way I'll be a lot quicker then you!

Best mod you could do. It'll pull like a bat out of hell all the way through the gears. Unless, you have monsterous hp, it's awesome. Traction is a problem in low gears, highway is about 300-400 more rpm.
