I have them in my fox.I like them fine .I pulled out set of 4.10s to take some low end out .The 373 s work good in a na engine .If you have a power adder they may be to low for your setup. I am thinking of going to 3.5 s when I up my boost.But for a driver the 373s with hci will make you smile as you drive. If your car is pretty well stock you will love them anyway.Good luck George

I had 3.73s and went to 4.30s and liked them. Im installing a turbo soon and am maybe gonna go back to the 3.73s but im not really sure. Youll probablyt like 3.73s but may want to go lower

3.73 should come stock with a fox body. Perfect gear for a street and strip car. 4.10 is too hard to hook without a real tall tire. 3.55 is a waste of money.

if you drive your car alot i would go with 3.73s...4.10s are way to low for a daily driver that sees regular highway use....i went up to 4.10s and it actualy slowed my car down in the 1/4 and it sucks to drive on the highway.

Ya I barely drove mine on the highway with them and i dont know how much difference the 20"s make but i liked the 4.30s.Theyll probably be too much when im pushing some boost though

What are your plans for the car? What size rims/tires are you going to run? What are your plans for the car? I had 3.73's in my old n/a notch with 245/45/17's tires and I liked them. The car pulled well and was still driveable on the highway.

I ran 3.73's in my old 90 L.X. for years. Drove it 400 miles a week and averaged 21 M.P.G. On the highway. This was with a mild motor that ran 13.40's @ 104 in the 1/4 on regular street tires.. The 3.73's worked out great.

I like the 3.73's its better for daily driving. 41.0's will blow anyone off the line but not much else lol.

3.55's are great. I swapped to a 3.73 when my IRS pumpkin let go. I really like the 3.73's with my Street tires.. But when the welds go on, the car does not have enough gear. This is the reason I will be installing a SRA with a 4.30. Six speeds rule.
Long story short is... Go with the 3.73's they will work great in a N/A fox. The gear is the best for all around use.
