Default shortest SITTING short shifter?

What do you guys think is the shortest SITTING short shifter than stock? I know the sitting position is NOT what makes the shifts shorter. I am just looking for a LOW sitting short shifter... anyone have an idea?

DC duel bend is a really low sitting short shifter
I got rid of it for a Skunk2 shifter because I felt I had to lean forward too much to shift.

i cut mine and then rethreaded it.. (i was bored)
shifting is different.. instead of moving ur whole fist when switching gears,, its like your flicking ur wrist with a slight push or pull lol..

its a short shifter i used... i cut it with a grinder and used a tap and die kit like this ( grind the lower part of the shifter so the cutting bit thing will fit over it and wont have to cut away as much)

the shorter the shifter lever height the more leverage you loose and the harder it becomes to get it into gear, we all know how notchy honda trannys can be!

I hate reaching toward the floor to shift. Drove a Civic like that and it was much harder to shift.

Sounds like our stage 2 civic short shifter would be a perfect fit. I drive with the stage 1 because I like it a little taller, but the stage 2 is very popular.
