Default A shorter shift shaft/pole height??

Hey, i just got an 03 rsx-s, and the shift **** feels like i'm driving a bus. I am going to buy a VT short throw adaptor, but i was wondering if there was just a shorter shift shaft/pole so that the shift **** sits way lower? Something cheap will do :-D Thanks for any input.

oem is threaded, oem a-spec is threaded, mugen is threaded, any decent ones are threaded, the ones that fall off use the allen key..

they're threaded so you can use them with the oem shaft, but if you want lower, get one with allen screws. I got the B&M and a **** and it's short as hell. BUT, our cars do have a shorter shaft than 90% of the cars out there
