what does everyone think about the momo cobra in carbon and aluminum(sorry dont have pics)?

are the momo ones counterweight?

also, i see that the a-spec and greddy are popular, does one have an advantage over the other?

The Razo 340G I use for summer driving came with two stickers -- one for a five speed pattern and one for a six speed. You can see in this photo (barely) that I stuck it on just in front of the shifter, just so mechanics, valets, and my wife would know how to shift if required.



In the winter months, I switch back to the GReddy knob because of the heat issues associated with a solid metal object in a 130 degree car interior.

PS: ignore the dust in the above photo -- the flash really magnifies what little there really is.

I would think the thread is the same, either way, i love thier knobs and thier design, i'm gonna ask my friend if he can find a evo owner that is willing to take some time out to see if this knob works, i sure hope it does

The thread pitch is NOT the same. Honda is M12x1.5 and Mitsu is M12x1.25

I REEEALLY want the Skunk2 440gram counterweighted knob but they do not sell it in the proper thread pitch according to thier website.
