I got mine from Cobb. Why do you say they look cheap? I prefer the two piece setup.

the first ones look like ours but they are NOT one of our distributors so i have a feeling that they are cheep knockoffs and using our picture from the KB website

the second one is a ES one from what ive heard and seen they are almost impossible to install.

I agree buy the Kartboy, they aren't that expensive and that you know what you are getting.

Hello
We did infact find out that they are copys of our bushings(quality is unknown).We are dealing with Ebay at the moment to find out what legal action to take.

Burn them Tom!

Here is another thumbs up for the Kartboy Short Shifter and Bushings. Easy to install (if you have the right tools) and very well made. I bought a short shifter and bushing set about a month ago and love it.

www.teaguesauto.com has both kartboy ones ($34) and energy suspension ones which are way cheaper ($10). No clue about quality but thinking of getting them. At least there a real company, so they'r probably better than ebay ones... just a thought
