Just replaced my B&M straight with a skunk2 dual bend and there is no difference the skunk just sits closer to you which I like and I only payed 80 for the skunk2. Ill sell you my B&M if you want it and Ill throw in a knice shift ****.

i got a 20 dollar fidanza short throw, not a dualbend, but still gets the job done. im 6'1 and with the single bend i gotta do a little gangster lean to reach it so if your tall, i would recomend finding a dual bend. but as far as performance, i really dont think there is to much difference in brands, just materials, and the name on them.

my fidanza has roller barrings and all the features of the more expensive shifters. great bang for the buck, but im looking to upgrade to a dual bend, which i think fidanza also has one for the same 20 dollars.

I have a B&M dual bend in my 94 Civic, and I love the thing. I'm short (5ft 6), and the shifter is in the perfect location for me.

When I got the shifter, I extended the threads down another half in, and cut the top half inch off. Also, I drilled and tapped my shift **** more to sit lower. At first it felt way too stiff, but it broke in very nicely.
