Default short throw shifters

I was just curious what short shifters people are using if any. Are the Skunk 2 short shifters any good? The C's short shifter is very expensive, who ever has it, do you think that it is superior to other aftermarket shifters? I have the B&M edge short shifter and it feels kind of notchy, it is way shorter than stock and I loved it for about a year. Now I am just wondering if there are any better short throw shifters on the market that have short, yet smooth engagement. Thanks.

I have the DC Sport SS on my Type R. So far (1,000 miles) I love it! Some people complain of rattling and breaking. Not the case yet and lets hope that never happens!

Yellow ITR: since your shifter is SS it shouldn't have any breaking problems. The aluminum shifters are much more brittle.

BlueG2: C's is great and all, but a B&M SS Edge shifter gets the job done just as well. I've only heard good things about (not clunky like the Neuspeed).

I use the STR short shifter in my civic hybrid, and have not come across any problems. the throw is adjustable. the only negative side to a short shifter is that if the throw is too short you might run the chance of messin up the tranny. something to do with the synchros or something...i forget what it was.

I have the DC sports one and I like it alot. My friend recently got the Nuespeed and its about as good as mine. Except the DC sports one sits lower than the nuespeed one which I like. Definatley worth getting IMO
