Here's a quick breakdown from redzman:
Ark = Best quality
Ark = Best FEEL in shifting, AMAZING.
Ark = Best Knob
Ark = No installation problems at all.
Ark = Pre assembled (Megan requires you to assemble it, with no instructions.)
Ark = Comes with an extension to make the shifter an inch higher, and a spare white cap for the lower pivot point.
Ark = Shortest shift. I haven't run all the measurements yet, but I've driven with all of them, and this one is a dream.
Ark = Best packaging.

and another fron blacktibs (who carries ark products also)
I've had damn near every shifter out there. I'm running the Rside in my black car, and Ark sponsored the white car with their shifter. I actually dig the Ark the best. VERY tight. So tight that when I drove the black car again, it felt like the shifter cables weren't clipped in it was so sloppy. I believe the base is just waaaay undersized.

I'll say this about the Megan shifter. While I like it better than the B&M, I missed the little machined tiny ridges along the shaft of the shifter. I used to run my finger nail down the shifter when I was driving, and I know its lame, but I missed that with the smooth Megan shaft.

But the Ark has it, lol. And its waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay shorter. Nice ass shifter if I must say so myself, and thats from my experience with over 5 shifters in 2 diferent tiburons. Sadly, my least favorite now it seems is the Rside advanced we all got so excited about way back when. How times change...

just cause you guys are really great, ted at ark asked me if you guys wanted to buy the shifters at a special price:

$129+15 S/H for the Continental USA.

arkreact@yahoo.com is the paypal, or feel free to contact ark directly at 626.934.1275 from 9 to 5 PST. tell them chris from NJ told you about the price

If you could ship to Canada, I'd be more than willing to join in on this.

Oh nice. I need a new shifter my current sts is crappy.
This sounds good. It's just in and out install right? I'll prolly get one once I make sure I have money left over from my vacation.

I must say I have the Ark axle back to replace my MBRP one when it went bad and I love it. All the hangars are still used and it fit perfectly!

It sucks man, all they had to do was get their name out there, and trusted, hell, Rick even came back once. Too bad they gave up.
