hi guys, i am a noob and just wondering how much and if its possible to have a taller final drive so that my cruising speed in all gears are at a lower rpm thus allowing me to have a higher top speed. i dowan to cruise at 100 around 3k rpm. ek4 does 100 at around 2.6 which is more comfy and less draining.
i am driving esi and i was wondering if the solution is changing the final drive.
if i am coorect then how much isit to change and where to find this gear?
thank you in advance bros

Stock ek4 do 100 at 3.2-3.4
The one that does at only 2.6 isit a turbo ek4? cos only turbo need such low final drive.

change gear 5 better than final drive since u wanna alter your cruising speed only. Gear 5 affects gear 5 alone whereas final drive affects throughout..acceleration would be affected.
i think i'm right.
gurus out there pls dun shoot me. i am newbie only
