Default S2 shifter length vs Stock Shifter length?

I was wanting to know how much shorter the actual length of a Skunk2 shifter is compared to stock? I'm about to pick up a Single bend S2 shifter and I was wanting to know if I will have to shift with my finger tips or if it just a tad shorter then stock?

thanks.

I don't have an s2, but most the single bends I've seen keep it very close to stock height.

The single bend and dual bend are stock height, just reduced throw which is how it should be designed IMHO.

I don't care for the DC and the like that shorten the height of the shifter as well. I had the dual bend in my old 99 Si and loved it. Can't go wrong with a counter weighted **** either.

Personally I'd like the **** to be about 5 inches higher than where it sits now. Too much of a trip for my hand to get from the wheel to the ****.

I got the skunk2 shifter, it's the same height as the stock piece except for the bottom portion which has a little longer piece which will shorten the throw hence the name: short shifter.

K, I've got the concept of a short throw. I just wanted to know that height difference. Thanks guys, now I'm about to go install it.
