top speed (~195km/h GPS) on the straight, way before you get to the end.

Of course, but question stated "for daily use" Smile

Tomorrow I will check the ring by following the FSM steps.
This is the only thing that I've forgot to check when I assembled the new bearings.

What should I choose for daily drive and drift ?
Is 4.7 not suitable for daily ?
I'm lost in my choice.

As said cruising at high speed (i.e. motorway) will be annoying due to high rpm. Do you drive on the motorway or at higher speed in your daily routine?

Ring & pinion ratio.
The ability to drift your car is primarily governed by the amount
of power you have, and the amount of grip. Having a Limited Slip
Differential is a big help Smile The only benefit from using a 4.7 instead
of a 4.3 is that you "close up" the gap between gears, and effectively
make each gear a little lower.

First gear with a 4.3 is already very low. Making it even lower will
more or less make it useless, as you will easily be able to start off
in second gear. And, while I am not a drifter, I would guess that
unless you are doing donuts around cones, you are not going to use
first gear much at all.

So, I say use the 4.3 and get yourself a set of wheels with some
skinny tires, pump them up to 45psi and go drifting Smile Then put your
good wheels and tires on for driving to work.

Get 4.7's if you drift and live with either going slower on the motorway or dealing with higher rpms/noise. IMO.
