Default Help with short shift selection

Hello.

I'm about 6ft tall. I drive a gen 2 crx.

I recently bought a B&M dual bend shifter thinking that it would move the shift position closer to me while i'm driving, however, the upper bend makes the shifter lean forward slightly which makes me need full reach when i sit back.

Now i want to change to something like a skunk2 shifter, but i'm unsure whether to go to a dual bend or a single bend.

Can anyone tell me which one sits closer to the driver???

Any help or pics would be very appreciated.

thanks

I would do one of these. Fastline Shifters are very comfortable and shift very well. There will be no reaching for this. These are great on the track or the street.

it looks great for track, but it looks like it might get in the way of a few things like head unit, etc.

what does it mean by adjustable handle??

It looks a bit too much for my driving, but if one of ths skunk2 shifters is inadequate, then i'll probably look into getting one of those

anyone know anything about the skunk2 position??
