Rear End is Toast
My Driveshaft has way too much play, the Ring + Pinion has gone bad. I wanna replace it, but should i Stay stock, or take it as luck and replace it with a 4.30 or 4.33. If i go the 4.30, or 4.33 way, are there any strains that i would put on the car that it couldnt handle if. If anyone has done theire Rear Gears, please tell me how it is, and if there anre any problems caused by it. I would aprreciate it very much.

two disadvantages to doing this...
-slightly lower gas mileage due to higher rpm at cruising speed.
-and your speedometer will be need to be recalibrated.
the advantage is faster acceleration. Puts more useable power to the ground.
VERDICT: I LIKE IT.

You live in NYC, and you probably don't get much use of high hwy speeds, so go for it 
Now if you lived in an area where you LOVE to make top end runs, then I wouldn't do it.
Personally, I LIKE top end runs
