Binary Extended Shift Knob

I am very close to pulling the trigger on the Binary Extended Shift Knob and lowering seat brackets.

I'd just like to get some reviews on the shift knob. I've been reading a lot about the weighted ones and that's what's holding me back.

My plans are to use my car as a DD and some AutoX and Road Racing next spring. I don't have any plans on drag racing, although, I am tempted to see what times I can get.

I also, have been focusing on power mods, but have seen the light and need to work on practicing with the power I have and focus on handling mods. I'm at 373hp/374tq, on E85 and stock 8 turbo, with stock cat back exhaust (cops ).

Consider your (individual) size. You'll be lowering the seat and raising the shift knob. Are your arms like Venus de Milo's?

Auto-x is 85% driver, 10% tires, and 5% car. Mods don't really help at your level, but great driving does.

What if they were? You'd feel bad. JK!

I know you're right. I'll get back to this topic after I spent some time on the track. Thanks for putting it into perspective.

The seat bracket mod is awesome.

That shift knob looks a little phallic. The WORKS one is very good though.

to bring a dead thread back, i have the seat lowering brackets... and i think on track, when combined with the shift knob it will make shifting easier, it's closer to the wheel of course. Not having to reach down as far sounds good too

the only con is the shape is not as appealing to the eye as the AMS knob, but I have decided to go for feel and control over looks, it is advertised as a natural feel in your hand.

getting close to buying one as well.
