FLP is awsome it brings the **** much closer to the steering wheel than the circuit hero unit. i have compared it to the circuit hero and i personally like the FLP better.

I dont like the circuit hero, I have the Circuit hero bull crap that is nothing more than a 4 inch piece of aluminum dowel that has been drilled and tapped on one end and threaded on the other....for 41.50 it is a BIG rip. you are better off getting the flp shifter, its worth every penny. My friend has a FLP shifter, makes me mad that I bought the circuit hero

whoever thinks the circuit hero ready-road is the same as the FLP has obvioucly never used an FLP. i bought the flp and yes i did wait a little bit to get it, but thats what a group buy is all about. it is weighted, balanced and adjsutable. the machineing and workmanship is impeccable. i use it with a S2 weighted **** and its very crip anbd precise. i give it . i use it DD and autoXing all the time

I had both. ended up selling the FLP shifter, and went with a stainless steel short shifter + Circuit hero. The only reason I sold the FLP was because it required significantly more effort to shift than the stock shifter in my car. I don't know if this was an isolated case, but I put new bushings in it, and even took it out twice to make sure I didn't install it wrong.

the short shifter + CH extension has the same light effort as stock, which I liked. the throw ends up about the same as stock, but the **** is a higher/closer to the steering wheel.

Its just a preference thing I guess.

The only issue I've heard about the FLP is that since the bottom hangs a lot lower than most other shifters, there is a chance that it will hit your exhaust.

The fastline shifter has a decent break in time with all new bushing mine took about 30min of drive time lossen up now it shifts as easy at stock.

I guess if you don't have short shiter at all I guess going with FLP is good choice.

I already had a skunk2 short shifter so I did opportunity cost and decided to go with circuit hero.

After all it all comes down same price.

anyway, CH extender is long enough for me~ and I enjoy very much.

My friend has the FLP. It feels really good , more so than words can explain. The shifter is alot close and it feels more 'natural'.

It's a great 'economy of motion' modification.

call marcus at heel-toe. he was the guy that just put on the group buy.


heres my setup. best part is the ricers asking you why you went bigger instead of the short shifter.

I've had my fastline shifter for a while and I love it. The bushings do take a while to break in. The circuit hero piece is nice if you're on a budget (both of my roommates use the circuit hero extender), but if you have the money, buy the FLP. It's worth every penny.

Mike- The Circuit hero hangs down just as low as most aftermarket short shifters in my experience.
