Look at one of the gear-ratio calculators (search google) and start there. Then factor in things like traction, fuel economy (yeah right!), noise (I chose 3.08's over 3.55's or 3.27's so I could cruise at 1800rpm at 70mph).

I absolutely think 3.73's will be too tall for the street, and annoying to drive.

Have RE-730's on my Audi and absolutely hate them!!! I can skate these things with a 1.8 as if I were on ice. Could not do that with the RE-71's I had before.

Cheers,
