Comparison/Review: JHM v. Stratmosphere Short Shifter
My original $.02 after installing the Stratmosphere short shifter:

Now first a caveat - my indie did not follow the instructions 100% and I've never been 100% happy due to the alignment not being perfect
Therefore, I decided to order the JHM shifter (http://www.jhmotorsports.com/shop/ca...roducts_id=612). My indie installed it in less than an hour and although the video instructions are daunting for the DIY, they are very detailed. We used the 35% throw reduction and the stiffest reverse spring.
All I can say is WOW. This could be the single best mod I've done to the car (even better than the anti-roll bar). The precision of the shifter is better than anything I've driven/owned. Snick-snick light (e.g. one finger is sufficient) but with an amazingly positive feel. Seriously WOW :thumbsup: It sounds cheesy but shifting is truly a tactile delight now!
