I've never heard anything bad about the B&M shifters, but I would spend the money on C's. As far as bushings go just buy a set by Energy Suspension, they're cheap and work well.

I can't stress it enough, ES shifter bushings are worth every penny (about $10 USD).

My CW came with a B + M short shifter when I bought it. When I went to put my Ti **** on, I found out that the thread pattern is larger on the B + M. I was told so that only B + M ***** can be used with them I went with the DC Sports short shifter, and I can't say enough good things about it

I really don't see the point of putting a short shifter on any Integra, considering that I can shift fast enough with the stock one to eat an entire gearbox worth of synchros.

thats the C's driver's position shifter, which i *believe* is a track oriented part....

the c's short stroke shifter is a little cheaper and i think more or a street mod....

The seat you are inquiring about is the ARS. This is from Primm Motorsports website:

Fiberglass version of the “Ars” model, 3 times winner of the Rally World Championship and from which it is directly derived. Cover in velvet type material with inserts made from a special fabric provided with rubber dots for improved grip in the shoulder and seat areas. Removable leg cushion. The 5 seat belt holes have bigger dimensions in the shoulder area to make the seat more adaptable to the different drivers’ height. Side fixing (type W). Weight: 7 kg Colours:Black or Red. FIA Approved.

ddub, is your R your daily driver? I'm curious as to the practicality of that shifter...i would think it would A. get in the way of the stereo and maybe the AC, and B. the lack of a boot would make for more noise and let dirt get where it normally wouldnt be...

A little dirt does fall in thru the opening of the C's Boot Plate, but there is that little rubber boot to cover up the shift linkage. Nothing an occasional vacuuming or shot of compressed air can't fix

well i cant decide, from either a dc sports, b&m edge or the c's, even though the c's is a bit high. i think jdmhondaparts.com is selling them for like 250.

im a big fan of dc sports stuff, but i dont know how they perform.

DC shortshifters are crap; there are post on ClubSi about once every 2 weeks where one has snapped in 2. Better off with stock ITR.
