don't do it man they break in two if you drive like me i dont kno how true this one is but i have had a few customers that run them and they say it improves the notchiy shifting we already are dealing with.

B&M adjustable to 45% shorter throw. Once you drive one and then go back to the stock one you will ask yourself "how come this feels like I am driving a School Bus"?

Personally, I like the stock shift lever the best on an Evo. The feel is quite good.

Short shifters are rice. All they do is make the car harder to shift.

I read somewhere that short shifters reduce the life of the tranny...not exponentially, but reduce it nonetheless. You should maybe get bushings first and see, before you get a ss kit.
