Yes the throw is definetly shorter than stock, but not as short as say the RSide advanced (according to Redz, since he had both, which is slightly shorter than the B&M) nor is it as short as the RSide Basic (SR) But the shifting on that Basic SS, is VERY NOTCHY! Feels like you're forcing it in gear everytime! I don't like it.
If I had a choice now, I'd get the RSide.
The B&M is a nice shifting SS. I'm very happy with mine.

is it shorter in height also though... it looks like the B&M shifter (in the pics of the DIY on B&M website) is a little bit taller than stock
It's an illusion, it's shorter. I think it's because of the stupid B&M knob. Threw that out once I saw it. Looked too "american" for my taste.
Here's a pic of mine, I'm sure you've seen it.
It's got a Juntos knob on it. If you want it, ask Rick over at REAL or David at KSpec. I got a few from Rick a while ago, I'm sure he can still get them.

Okay, here we go, the B&M with the blue bottom will fit. It actually doesn't matter for color, it's only the 2001's with the white shift plate that can't use the standard B&M.
As for height, the B&M is denfiately a bit shorter than OEM height, but it's way to tall. The B&M is decent, but after having the 2, I'd never, EVER get the B&M or recommend it again. The shifts with the RSide Advanced are so smooth, light and precise that I couldn't ever see using the B&M again. Serious.
KayJay (KY), you need to try one of these out man, get one of the guys up there to give you a shot at it. You'll sell your B&M in about 2 seconds.
The Rside Advanced is actually quite a bit shorter than the B&M when installed, it doesn't look like it in the comparison pictures, but it's WAY shorter overall when installed.
