with that said...
I'm thinking when I get mine, I'm going to get a TWM combo with the SS, and Type-R style wieghted knob. My question is this... which bushing kit would I need for it? The Tibby, or the Elantra kit? Also, how close do you think I could get to this height in the accent?

uzzled:Well, I think I'll try the Short Shifter and the wieghted knob. Their Rep or whoever he is (SN: TWM Performance) said that their shift knob were adjustable too. If that doesn't get it low enough, I've kinda resigned to the cut length thing. My inspiration came from the Miata. I've always loved it's shifter. (practically sunken into the console, and had incredibly crisp short throws) I know It wont be practical to have it that low, especially not until I install my GK buckets. I'm aiming for the pic I posted or maybe a little bit shorter.I'm going to have to make a new boot too, that's for sure. That's okay though, I like the sunken boot look.
:evil:
a short throw shifter reduces the throws of the shift by adding more leverage. (bottom part is made longer) so chopping it down only makes the actual shifter shorter and gives you less leverage for the shifts.
look or funcionality. My short throw shifter is just as high as my stock shifter was.
and weighted knobs are a waste of money:

:I know what the short shifter does, but in addition to the reduced throws, I'd also like a short stock. like in the pic. that's what I was questioning. I don't like how high it is now. As far as the weighted knob things goes, they do make a difference. If you've ever ran with both, you know. I mean hell, the factory LC2 knob is weighted. I'd use that one, but it's worn, and feels like crap. Do I think that weighted knobs are worth the money they cost? No, but they do make a difference.Originally posted by bh206

Just balancing. Makes the throws a bit easier since it adds a bit of momentum. It's just a matter of leverage, as you put it. But I wouldn't pay $170 for one. It's kinda hard to say how much I'd be willing to pay for one too though. Most Knobs are at least $50 anyways though. Might as well spend a little more for one I like better.
TWM type-r wighted: $99.95
Momo Sphere black: $82.00
