Default Anyone in the area have 4.44-4.77 FD gears

I'm about to purchase a set of final drive gears and just want to see what they feel like compared to stock.

I'd recommend at least 4.56.
That's what I've got and although it is much better than stock, I don't think anything lower (smaller number) would be very noticeable.
I can't say the car is available since my wife is the DD of that car now, but I would imagine if you attended any of the weekly/ bi-weekly events, there is bound to be someone there that will either take your for a ride or let you drive.

Good luck and by the way, I heartily believe that gears are THE best acceleration upgrade available for the money.

Also Puddy is the king of the FD gears as he is the one that puts all the pieces together and will install as well.
S&R can cryo treat which I would recommend also. I don't think it's that much more to get them treated, but it gives that added peace of mind.
