STI 6spd short shifter??

Just contemplating which one to buy.....
Stuck between the kartboy/Perrin/and or Cobb with front bushings
Which combo would you guys choose or have and how have they felt overtime?

And also are rear bushings worth it?
thnks ahead

I have the kartboy and bushings. I installed it myself, and I am not the most gifted mechanic. LOL. Works great. After you have had it for awhile and you get used to it, drive a stock car. It will help you appreciate all over again.

I just bought the Kart Boy SS with the front and rear bushings and OMG its awesome! It lowers you shift lever like 1-1.5 inches. Although the STi stock shifter is already pretty short you can see a pretty good difference.

kartboy FTW!! i have their SS in my FXT as well as every one of their other products. Tom is the man! as for the buchings it's like this...SS good but kinda notchy...SS+front bushings is slightly better with a more firm feel...SS+front&rear buchings is the best! takes out a lot of the notchiness and makes the shifter feel nice and firm. $150 for the package at most places but i'd get it direct from Kartboy, you get an atomic fireball too!!
