Or if you really want to impress the ladies, roll with the Fastline shifter like I do now (not a pic of my car, but he's using the same shifter):

I DO NOT recommend Neuspeed. That is what I have now in my car. There is way too much side to side play engineered into the product.

I've used my AC Autotechnic dual bend now for about six years. It helps that I have energy susp shift stabilizer bushings as well.

Re: What are the best brands of short shifters (BILLisCHILL)

IMHO, best=personal prefferance. Now as far as quality goes, B&M hasn't been in business since 1953 for nothing.

I'd go with anything with a dual bend... the straight ones just don't position themselves well at all..
The B&M with the integrated pivot ball is the shiot IMO... Pretty sure they're expensive though...
Also keep in mind that the majority of the benifit from a SS is just feel... you can't physically shift your trans any faster because you have one...
The shifting time is determined by the synchros... if you go faster than they want to you just chew them up.

I wish I had a K... But I have an advantage you guys dont for a K series swap, the mount box. When I swap, all I have to do is mount up some RSX-s linkages, and Im set. Thats pretty much the only cool OEM engine related part on the EM2.
But you are right about B & M's heritage, they are one of the best transmission parts manufacturers for 50 years and still going strong. I have had 6 of their products to include a transmission, torque converter and a couple shifters and a AT oil cooler. Very high quality parts.

Pretty much any time you need to shift quickly and get your hands back on the wheel. I know an autocross guy that loves it, and I got mine for road course, where a lot of people love them. With a synchro transmission you can only shift so fast anyway and a properly placed and balanced/weighted shifter should let you shift as fast as your synchros will allow.
