Ok, so the only improvement over the B&M is the adjustable height?
Well, it also looks like you may be able to adjust the throw a bit too.
Not to mention this comes with a nice knob, the one on the B&M sucks.
I may get one of these and sell my B&M, It's too high and doesn't you have to get aftermarket bolt on knobs.

Did someone say GROUPBUY
Good idea. wink.gif

Yeah, Redzman.... Hook up another group buy before you leave the big "K". If you need a military shipping person let me know, I have a freind over there in Yongsan or whatever it is called.
Well, I probably won't get to set it up, but Spike can. Have him contact David (It's cool with me man) and if Spike ships, it should be even cheaper.
SPIKE, go for it man. Set it all up.

well i have the basic one right now **cough cough shark racing cough cough**
on the new style, can you use any shift knob or just the one that comes with it? i really love my shift knob so i dont want to give it up.
do you know if it shifts smoother or is it kinda poppy like the basic one?
also, does it take up the slack better? on the basic one i had to cram in 2 good size washers so it would'nt jiggle as much while in neutral.
i need something that will shift smoother so i wont miss gears while racing. sometimes i catch myself miss shifting with the basic one.
if it is much better than the basic one then i will be down for the group buy . i just dont want to buy something that is just about the same in quality.

Well, the official word is RSide likes David and working with Kspec better than SR. SR doesn't ever give them any props and re-labels everything SR. You can use any shifter knob on it. The one on it unscrews. Don't know on the smoothness, but David looked very comfy driving with it. Looks A LOT like the B&M. And that sucker is smoooooovvveee.... Don't know about slack either. Again, it all looked good. Get the advanced folks. It should be a decent amount cheaper if SPIKE is shipping.

Racerboy for me mangs...
I love that knob. The B&M felt nice, but looked like a buttplug. lol.gif
The Racerboy feels like the B&M, just a bit bigger, and looks outstanding!
