a honda will benifit from a higher final drive a lot because they have such little torque. the lsj is a fairly torquey 4 cyl and 1st gear is short enough as it is. a 4.45 would only be useful at the track with slicks or r-comps (depending on the racing you do). on the freeway you would be around 2750rpm at 65mph, about a 250rpm increase.

there are a number of different ways to do this. Swapping final drives if you are staying on the exact same wheels/tires will shorten your gears and provide better acceleration. 4.45 is the only final drive available right now to upgrade too.
Another "cheaper" way is to drop down to a 15" or 16" rim and drop your overall tire diameter. For instance, the stock 18's overall tire diameter is 25.7", so dropping to a 16" wheel and say a 24.5" tire diameter will shorten your gears providing the same acceleration as say staying on the 18's and going to a 4.45 final drive.
Just some free info there.

pm qwikredline, he has them at his shop in canada. He'll hook you up with a good price. You'll have to take the ring and pinion to a shop for it to be installed as they will have to pull the trans and take it apart.
