Is it just me, or does the throw look exactly the same?
EDIT: Hmm, I guess it isn't advertised as a short throw.

Flew from Sac to L.A. I hate buying from dealers, but this had been advertised for a few months, and the price kept dropping (likely because it needed tires, balance, alignment, rear seat repaired/recovered, wiper blades, probably a tune-up), so I made the guy an offer. I got down there & found a few flaws not discussed, such as shaky steering/rolling when above 55mph, and he admitted just rotating the tires, but not having them balanced... so I pushed him to lower the price at least enough to offset the cost of putting new "basic" tires on it. Just got the email that the new tires I ordered are in, so I'll be going to get new Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus 225/60/16's installed today, then taking it to get it aligned. This should improve the problem right away, and it will give me a chance to see if there is any other issue with the suspension/steering, etc that I'll need to replace. I'm thinking KYB GR2's & (?) springs (keeping the stock height - might go with King progressive Aussie springs).

It's definitely shorter in height - but you're right. The throws are only slightly shorter than my OEM STi Short shifter. I'm not 100% on it, I might sell it.
