just out of curiousity, my car has the measly 2:73 gears and ive been looking to upgrade. im totally lost, and my question is will fourth gen gears fit with little work? if not, what would have to be done to make it work. would 4:10 gears be a good idea for my mostly stock lg4? thanks

is this your everyday driver car?? If it is and you plan on driving any long distances you may look into a pair of 3.73 gears. the 4.11's are good for low end but it will severly cut off your top end driving and it will drop your gas mileage down big time.

for a basicly stock LG4 i'd say 3.08 to 3.23. you wouldn't gain alot more by using anything more than a 3.42, but since the LG4 isn't exactly a revving engine you'd be fine with 3.42 or less.
