Default Skunk2 shortshifter Dual Bend...Single Bend ???

I was just about to order a shifter from them and i just came accross a website that was selling 2 versions. Single bend and dual bend. What is the purpose for the two ? And is there any reason to get one over the other ? From the picture I see it may seem as if the dual bend sits lower then the single ?

Thanks,
R

Which ever one you chose the length will still be stock, but the throw will be shorter, the duel bend is basically meant for Integra's, and the single for Civic's, but it doesn't matter which one you chose, I myself have the duel bend in my Civic.

I know the Dual bend serves it's purpose for leverage which results in easier shifting, but How is it in the civic? I know the integra came with dual bend stock, so thats not a problem. The civic is another story. Does the dual bend sit back more on the civic? does anyone have pictures? I know this is a old post, hopefully someone is subscribed to this.

I have a dual bend on my civic, the shifter sits closer to you, a little lower than stock height. While the single bend shifts inwards more when you shift to 2nd, 4th. It's hard to explain, but from neutral, the shifter sits closer to you than single.

I'm using the dual bend in my Civic. I like it much better cause it places the shifter a little closer to you.

I have a dual bend in my 97 ex, shorter throws and stock height. I like it. I think the actual stick height of the single bend is shorter, but im not positive. I liked the dual bend so i didnt have to reach so far.
