Gear ratios? I'd go for one with 3.42's myself, I'm not too sure about 3.4 liters, I think they came standard with 3.23's? But I put 3.42's on mine and they are great! The brake job won't be hard, the line from the front goes to the axle, where there is a small little "box"like thing where the two lines from the drums go to. Just unscrew those and screw back in the new ones when the new axle is on, and bleed like there is no tomorrow

 

If you enjoy the 3.42's that much, I may purchase the rear-end with those.
*The 3.4L lacks punch at mid-high rpm range. What do the 3.42's give you? Keep in mind, im seriously thinking about swaping out the 3.4L in the near future.

-I drive this car all over the place, either crusing the streets or driving 20 minutes to Downtown Cleveland 6 times a week, so its very hard for me to decide what rpm range/mpg I want to target.

-I found the rearend for $300 and the driveshaft for $75, and I'm picking it up next week. Slotted Rotors/Pads and Lowering Springs are going to be ordered this weekend, im stoked

*Everyone happy with their lowering springs? Or do they wish they had coil-overs?

*Should I replace the shocks while Im at it?
