STi short throw shifter
I'm thinking about buying one for my '05. I know there's the factory one and also one from Kartboy. Anybody have any experience or opinions about what the best short throw is for my STi?

I know one of the Reno guys has one on his STI. It was a bit pricey but he said it was WAY better than the kartboy or factory model. You might try searching SECCS (www.seccs.org).

The Kartboy bushings along with the Turn In Concepts bushings make a wonderful combination with great feel.

I have the factory ss from Suby. Love it. Engages sharp and clean ~ no grinding here at all. Another customer added the Kart Boy ss to his O.E.M ss and that turned out to be a sweet combo as well.

After being in a a few STi's with the kartboy bushing and the Turn in Concepts bushings I am very impressed (Turn In Concepts sells the package with their stuff and kartboy stuff). If you want an SS, the Kartboy short shifter can be bundled with this bushing package and is awesome. I think its the best thing you can do for your shifting on the STi six speed.
EDIT: Um, sentence fragments suck
