whats your question about it?

 

Everything...
Is it worth it?
Quality?
Hard Install?

I have a short shifter lever, and now im wondering how much shorter the throw can be with one of these.

 

Go Fast Bits is the best! I'm not lying. So sinister!

 

Thats awesome, but I already have a really really short throw (stick wise) I was just wondering if getting this kit and changing all the other stuff was even worth it.

 

I don't think so considering the STi throw is longer than a few aftermarket shifters.

I always wondered why the STi one has to change out all that stuff!

 

I think it changes the actual geometry of the shift lever rather than just switching to a shorter one. I would guess that would keep the shift effort from going way up, but that's just my guess. I've actually been considering one of these for awhile and trying to decide if it's worth it versus a Kartboy lever or whatever.

 

Someone who owns one needs to chime in. haha

 

Own one! Love it better than the cobb on my RS. Very smooth crisp shifts, easy to find gears, works better and smoother than any aftermarket short shifter I have used. It will be going on my RS soon and I will probably buy the STI shifter for my 6 speed.

 

You can still add a Krtboy style STS to the STi one, peeps at legacygt.com and subaruforester.org have done this and think its pretty good.
I'll be doing it in a month or so too.

 

Compare the STi to just a KB SS? Well, like a few have said, the STi one replaces the whole shifter unit with one of an extremely short stroke and a smooth, yet has a "notched enough to let you know it's there" feeling. You have to remember that the KB SS is just a replacement shift lever, not a complete assembly. Stock (even with the KB SS) is like rowing a canoe, while the STi version is like being on a rowing team, short and precise. The STi shifter makes gear changes effortless and almost feels like a sequential manual, minus the fact there is still a shift pattern.


Reason I know? Short throw shifter in 6MT in RSTi FTW!

It feels great. Brydon pretty much said it. Smooth, crisp, always find the gears, firm. Definitely worth every penny.

 

K. sweet.

I have a STS on my car now... will I be able to use the STS on this kit also or will I have to use what comes with it?
