I know that there's different types of short shifters out there but the most common ones that i heard of is Cobb, Perrin, Go Fast Bits, and Kart Boy. I know there are more out there but I haven't heard of most of em.. If you had to pick which one is the best for performance, reliability, and comfort which would u pick?


For me i think i might have gone with the Cobb since i heard good things about it.

 

After looking at a lot of peoples builds and stuff...like in member journals/cars... I've seen Kartboy as the short shifter of choice for most people it seems. Hope that helps. :]

 

Cobb don't make them anymore - they are made by MODE Racing (I think they made them the whole time for Cobb anyways). http://www.moderacing.com/

I've had; no name/ripoff, Kartboy, GFB, Cobb, STi Assy.
Out of all of them I put the Cobb up top just because of how adjustable it is (throw and height), then the Kartboy in 2nd, the rest can fight it out for being the cream of the crap.

 

Cobb for sure!!! 2 way adj. Feels great on track aswell as DD. Idk if you can adj kartboys shifter throw. Only **** height.

Have a buddy with a kartboy and he's selling to get a Cobb. Hope this helps.

 

Kart boy with the bushings
light years better than the stock STi shifter

 

I was lucky enough hands on a Cobb and I am loving it. much better than the Kartboys I tried out and way better than the ebay one I had on my previous Suby.

 

I have a TWM with Kart Boy bushings. I like it alot.

 

I test-drove an '08 STi with (I'm told) a Perrin shift kit. It felt very solid and I would not have known it was aftermarket unless I was told.
