Hey guys what are the differences bewteen the shifters? Which one is the best and why? I don't care so much about height I don't want a super short one. Let me know what you think.

I cant speak for the Megan one, however, out of Fidanza and B&M, i can tell you that B&M is better, and more than likely better than the Megan one. Reason being, quality of materials, finctionality, and ease of use.

I am not planning on doing lightning fast shifts all the time but I just want something that feels solid and sporty. I alredy ordered the shifter bushings and the underhood ones. What do you think?

One last question, how hard is the short shifter to install. Does it just hook right up to where the old one went or what?

Yea i think youll be happy with B&M. Cant go wrong with whats been proven to work. Im sure fidanza is good as well since they have a pretty good reputation on parts. But i just havnt heard much about their shifters

GREASE! use grease, i heard on here one time about a guy installing a short shifter and 2 months later it broke... well he didn't greese it. metal on metal = friction, repeated friction over period of time = break. don't be a moron! lol
