Gears on Ebay...legit?

Let me know what you guys think about these:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Camar...95783713QQrdZ1

Im trying to buy some gears for my car either 3.73s or 4.10s. They say Motive which i havent heard bad about? Price seems pretty good for new gears. Anyway some feedback would be great.

Thanks.

the price is that cheap because those are basically a stock replacement.. if you feel comfortable buying from them, then go for it.. just dont expect the gear set to handle much more power than a stock set

I wasnt really aware that some gears sets were stronger then others. Im looking for gears that have the ratio i want and as long as they are as strong as stock thats all that matters then. Thanks for the reply.

some companies have factory replacement gear sets as well as high-performance drag gears.. some have lightened gear sets.. well i looked on summit racing for motive gear and there is only one line-up from motive.. 3.73's and 4.10's costs 179.95 from summit.. i say go for the gears

Dont forget you will have to update the carrier to a series 3. I'm pretty sure you have a series 2 in there now. I know Thats what i had to do. But I had a stock 2.72
