You’ve got your priorities straight my friend. B&M is a great option for short shifters. Feel good, look good. But what’s really great is they feel good… You can try and find a used one, because I have never heard of buying a BAD short shifter… they are usually high quality metals and can’t just be manhandled or grinded down or anything like that. So look around Zilvia and other forums for a short throw and you’ll come across one. Easy, Dan ---

Welcome. Good move with the short throw For suspension I’ve heard that the biggest improvement can be found in a good set of strut bars. ---

BS. They do almost nothing. And Alex, maybe we has fat hands :S or maybe he got one of those OBX shitass parts. Real parts are made of \*\*\*\*in stainless, that shit is hard to break. ---
