Springs next...whatever kind you decide to go with. Dropping it makes a big difference.

you got better gas mileage from ur gears?
i was always under the impression that they hurt gas mileage. (though i didnt really notice too much of a difference wen i got my 4.10s)

either way congrats and have fun with whatever u decide to go with next

Gears themself dont really hurt gas mileage. With gears, the engine works less(higher ratio = easer to rev) but since theyre so fun, you'll find yourself more on the gas(as I have found recently ) so as long as you're driving normally, gears can actually help a little. Yes, even 4.10's
