Re: [ST] Melbourne Daytona



I had gone to a 45 tooth on my '01 ST and liked the results.  I have resisted doing it on my current ST for fuel reasons.  However, I have recently been commuting with the ST for the past few days, and am thinking about dropping the gearing again.  For anyone that knows D.C. traffic, some lower gearing and being able to go slowly (i.e. crawl) without pulling in the clutch would be nice.....

True, 'dat.... I'm running 18/45 (-1/+2) on my Sprint RS and it provides quite a bit more snap than stock gearing and it works at all RPMs.
