Whats the best WRX short shifter?

I'm gonna go buy a short shifter and I was wondering whats the best one out. Also, what makes a short shifter good, how does it work, so I'll be able to draw my own conclusion too. Thanks a lot. Oh, and if anyone has any stories about how their short shifters are working out for them, I'd like to hear. Thanks.

get a kartboy. be sure to get the bushings too. the bushing will make more of a difference then the actual short shifter.

If you are keen on having the shifter at stock height or lower than the KB try the Cobb:

I found the KB easier to install though since you don't have to decide on where you want the adjustments to be

Thanks

I really appreciate all the help. I'm gonna ask around more and see what everyone else has to say too. Thanks a lot. I'm leaning more towards the Kartboy cuz its a little cheaper, But I am still considering the COBB with the Kartboy Bushings. I'll keep the pokll up for a little longer and see what other people's opinions are. Thanks.

Perrin?

Anyone want to comment on the Perrin short shifter? Its the little aluminum piece that clamps to your stock shifter, flipped 180 degrees. You slide it up and down the stock shifter to determine the reduction in throw. Ninos sells it for $75 shipped.

I'd get a Kartboy but I want to retain the stock height. I already have a Kartboy **** which drops the height by an inch or so.
