ya can never have too much, just depends on your driving style, if its a weekend street warrior why not have the fun with 4:56's...they wont like hard launches thats for sure:no:

Well i checked it out, 1st gear will lose 4 mph compared to my current 4.10s and will also go up to about 2100 rpm at 70 compared to my 1850 now.

that is just barley worse than my A4 3.23:o damn these automatics

I run 4.33s in mine and its totally fine on the street. My only concern would be if you run at the strip. You either need RPM, a tall tire, or low trap speed to run that steep of a gear to go out the back door in 4th. I am wanting to run 120-122mph and I need 7000rpm and a 26" slick. Kiss traction goodbye though, mine doesn't hook up until after the 3rd gear 'chirp' on street tires.

You'd need at least a ~28" tire to get any real speed out of it! :eek:

I've got 4.10's in my car with the A4 and they work great :thumb:. Surprisingly enough, even with the low 12.55:1 first gear ratio (3.06 tranny X 4.10 axle), it hooks up pretty good off the line!! :D Even on street tires, it was hooking hard and bogging the engine! ;)
