3.73's have a better record as far as not breaking as readily, plus an A4 is much more forgiving on the rear when compared to teh shock from an M6.



BTW, not trying to be an *** so don't take offense, but its written 3.73:1 (3.73 to 1) or just 3.73. In other words for each driveshaft rotation your axels will make 3.73 rotations. Going by the same scheme 3:73 would mean for every 73 times your DS turns you get 3 axel rotations.

 

not trying to be an *** so don't take offense, but with 3.73s your driveshaft turns 3.73 rotations per each axle rotation.

 

Ya, you're right. I had it bass ackwards. Higher RPM @ lower speeds wit more gear, but it is still 3.73 and not 3:73

 

actually your all wrong its how much the ring and pinion weight... 373 decigrams freaking noobs

 

lol. right right.

 

decigrams... Even more reason it wouldn't be written 3:73.

I know you're joking but....


373 dg = 37.3g = .0373Kg
For reference, 1g ~= a paperclip and 1 Kg = 2.2 lbs

Now thats some light weight gears. No wonder the 10 bolt breaks so easily.

 

i hate you all

 

You'll come back for more.
