    Default VK gearing upgrade

    The lack of low down power my VK is getting really annoying, i have a 3.08 ratio at the moment..

    GU4 - Axle Ratio - Rear 3.08:1
    I want 3.9 gears i think (i dont really know much about it, but i know that 3.9 is better for low down)

    would i need a full new diff, or a diff center or what?

    How much would it roughly cost?

    Cheers...

    Why dont you just get a diff out of a 6cyl vl??? they are a strong diff and come with 3.45:1 ratio.
    you can pick up a diff from a wreckers for about $100
