Default Richmond Performance Gears???

I have been looking at getting 3.73's for a while now and was going to stick with FRPP. AM has Richmond gears on sale and I was wondering if anyone has or had them. Looking for opinions on quality, performance and noise. I don't want to have a whining rear end or have them lead to problems, so I hope to get some good responses to weather there is a difference between the two, but I know most of you would say stay with FRPP.

I have had USED FRPP gears in for a year now with no whine at all and no problems. I hear richmond are good, but you can't go wrong with a ford performance product.

Installed a couple of sets in the past. Noisy and had more difficulty getting a good pattern. Stick with Ford. $161.90 after shipping and handling from Summit Racing.

Check out eBay. I got the gears, bearings, seal, slinger, crush sleeve, and nut for $200 shipped. The only thing I didn't get were wheel seals and bearings.

I bought it from a private guy last year, so unfortunately, no link.

My bad, I thought you meant you had them for sale.
