I like the Autometer guages. I dont know if youre fond of them or not, theyre only like 50-60 bucks each. If you dont like them, you could get some Greddy gauges. They range from 100-200 each, but are real nice.

The Autometer gauges are "ok" to use, but if you are looking for acuracy, then autometer is not the way to go. I have a combo of Apex and autometer gauges, and the apex ones are superior in comparison. I would recommend the HKS or the Greedy for cost and acuracy.

VDO - priced like the Autometer gauges, but German built for better quality.&nbsp If you can't afford any of the Japan made stuff, get VDO.
