I was looking at picking up a set of rear end gears for my 87 to speed it up a little and i was wondering what you guys would suggest I have a 87 lx hatch back with some basic mods aluminum drive shaft manual 5 speed and full exhaust msd ignition and 17in cobra r rims etc etc.. Theirs a posting in the junkyard horsepower that has a list of rear end gears in vehicles im making a trip to the salvage yard any way so i was wondering if it would be worth my time I don't plan on upgrading the whole rear end for a while.
