Default DC Sports Short Shifter and KYB AGX Adjustable shocks

Anyone have the DC Sports Short Shifter? Any other brands you guys recommend? What are some Pros/Cons about having a short shifter...Does it improve the smoothness of the shift at all? I'm just a little tired of the long throws it takes to go from gear to gear.

Also, I found these: http://www.coximport.com/hotsheetd.html
From what I understand, they're the best value for adjustable shocks on the market...and AGX carries a decent reputation. I'm planning to pair these with Eibach ProKits...which are a lower spring rate = not as stiff as sportlines (which with the higher spring rate would go well with Koni shocks)

Any comments or suggestions?

Okay, maybe not TIRED of it, more like...it would be cooler to have a short shifter..hehe. Anyway, please mention some pros/cons of short shifters, if it even does anything, is it worth the $50 investment, or is it really just a useless piece of aluminum. Thanks!

its just an adapter plate, plus i can shift it faster than the damn synchros will let it and if i do...**GRIIIIIIND* not a nice noise...

anyway it does feel better and firmer, replace the stock rubber bushings with some polyurethane or aluminum/steel/brass if you want to really get crazy.....

I have been considering a short shifter as well. I have been hesitant because I heard that it shorten some shifts mor than others. I think this would be annoying to have say 1-2short but 3-4 long.

Anybody heard this before?
