motive or FR


i was just wondering... is there any preference on getting the motive gears or the ford racing gears? i'm asking because the motive's are cheaper... but is it just worth it to get the ford racing ones?

I have a rule, it you can buy an oem part do it. It's jsut the little things that can't be reverse enginered. The other option is go with a top line aftermarket manf. Never ever buy the cheap stuff you just buy it over and over again. Trust me.....

I wanted FRPP gears, but I've been looking into these motive gear packages at Brenspeed on ebay. They seem like a good price.
Check them out here

Haste to tell you buy Motive and Ford are the same product. I run motive 3.75, but that is because i got a better deal on the gears and bearings.
