Title: lets talk gears
Post by: enginethatcould on September 27, 2010, 06:42:34 PM: I know we talk alot about gears and gearing choice here on the forum, but I would like to know where you guys are purchasing your gears. Also, what are the brands that you guys are using? I am looking for a good set of gears that is not to expensive, but I do not want to buy a crappy ring and pinion either. You know, some happy medium between price and realiabilty. Thanks for all the input!

As for where I buy gears, well I shop around. The last place I ordered gears was at West Coast Differential in Rancho Cordova. There are a lot of good places though.

No, that's the only downside. Then again I don't have a D35c. :doggy: :lol:
