Default Skunk2 or B&M ????

which short shifter should i get? i heard the skunk to sits almost at the same level as the stock one does, and its making me lean towards the B&M.

any other suggestions? im looking for feedback from people who have experience with these products

i've had skunk 2...i've had findanza...but i've never tried B&M

my skunk 2 missed 3rd alot and to me and friends we all agree on it so its not a driver's mistake...i know how to bang gears


can i add a 3rd choice to the group...even tho i've had this shifter for a loooong time its been my all time favorite..i dono if they even make it anymore....but
its a DC sports JDM ITR dual bend shifter...or in other words a JDM itr shifter only a lil shorter...its really nice and sits just a tad bit lower....

GL tho.....

My dual bend steel short Throw shifter from ebay works great(10.99) stock height, throw is decent short. (reduced by 40%). i dont know why you'd want a super short shifter. You dont want to have to reach down to shift.

i've got the b&m factory bend...feels pretty good...sits low but in my EJ8 i've gotta do a little more reaching then usual....since you've got a EJ8 i'd go for the skunk2 dual bend cuz i hear it sits closer to you...

I got mine from http://www.evasivemotorsports.com (also an h-t sponsor) and it was cheaper then either junk2 or b&m and follows the same design as the b&m.

Fastline shifter FTW!

I have a B&M too, the stainless straight one with the billet pivot ball mount, IMO it is the least crappy of all the short shifters that I have seen.
