It doesn't matter. Get whatever you prefer.

The single-bend shifter has 1 bend, like a stock Civic shifter. The dual-bend shifter has 2 bends, like a stock G3 Integra shifter. I'm sure this much is obvious.



The difference is in the position and orientation of the ****.

I prefer Fastline Performance's dual-bend shifter:

I prefer the dual bend because it brings the shift **** position closer toward the driver and the final position of the **** is straight up when in neutral

single bend and dual bend.. not much difference in what they do, but they're WAY different in its feel. personally.. i like the feel of a dual bend a lot more than the feel of a single bend. you should definitely try them out to see which one YOU like better.

Exactly. Destiny, if you knew the purpose of having a shifter sit that high, you wouldn't have said that. When you do any type of road racing/autoX having the shifter closer to you is better. You spend more time with your hands on the wheel and not reaching down to shift/on the shifter.
