******** Short Shifters
Anyone have experience with these?
It would be going with ES shifter bushings.

the forementioned ones would be fine, they are made of steel so they wont snap unlike cheaper ractive and such...but personally I liked the b&m just wish they made a single bend version

short shifters work great, quicker and more precise throws,,
Deff change the bushings that makes a big difference.

dont u find it to be in a slightly too aggresive driving position for everyday driving? its good for racing position where you're sitting straight up and close to the wheel but for normal day to day use I found I would have to reach for it too much

lol matt. I like the B&M and I always sit in the 'racing' position. arms at 90 degrees... it's the best position for car control in all situations.

this is true...but the "cool" factor isnt there hahaha...but I guess its not cool when you cant control your automobile...the b&m is crisp though and so solid too...maybe a dual bend in the new car

like I said...they seem decent since they are metal...but I would also goto honda and get the shifter rebuild kit while your at it since they dont come with new bushings like b&m does

Probably hitting the exhaust pipe or something.

I've got a megan racing short throw, integra bend, in my 00' SiR.

It works awsome...will be even better with the es bushing of course.

Got mine from ********...still waiting on the bushings...

Cheap and easy mod...I recomend it to anyone.
