or

Varis Dry Carbon Shift Knob ?

I can't choose between these two! Any EvoM members have had any experience of either? Currently using A Spec Products 50mm titanium shift knob.

Sorry I don't have either of those, but I have the Greddy counterweight. I would go with the heaviest knob, a heavy knob and a short throw make the shifting very tight

Personally I wouldn't go with the carbon one, as I've had a carbon knob before and it was too light. You should go with a weighted shift knob, I suggest trying to find a Greddy Counterweight or a blox weighted shift knob.

i swapped my greddy counterweight for the ams. shifting is much smoother because the shift knob sits higher. the greddy knob is okay, but sits a little lower and it does look better but i prefer the feeling than how it looks.

Go with the AMS shift knob! You won't look back. Every shift feels so right with this knob.

I used to have a greddy counterweight and now I'm using the tomei short duracon. I love it.

The tomei isn't as heavy but the shifts feel more precise and smoother. Also no more burning heat from the sun baking the shift knob haha.

AMS. Shifts are clean and smooth. Probably the best shift knob i've felt so far.

I was thinking about both of them when i was looking for a shift knob and ended up deciding on the password jdm delrin shift knob. feels very nice and there are a lot of options. both the knobs you mentioned are nice you wont be disappointed w/ any of them.

ARC knob and B&M short shifter, and your shifting will be precise as hell. I have both and especially the ARC knob is top notch.
