hey guys, i want to get a short shifter.... i was thinking about the B&M, it's about $190. i don't mind spending the money, but i found one for about half the price.

should i just go with the B&M???



thanks for all you help guys.

I have the mazdaspeed shifter and I really like it. I would steer you in that direction if at all possible. I am not familiar with the shifter you linked but it doesn't look like the regular unit that goes in. It has it's own box built into it. I'm sure it works fine if it is an Apexi piece though. Still if you go with mazdaspeed there is no guessing.

Honestly that looks EXACTLY like the B&M shifter. Except the B&M has a anodized blue base. I love my B&M . I don't know what kind of quaility that one is, so I can't say go get it.

i HATE those little allen screws. i would go with a name brand shifter, to my knowledge apexi doesnt make a shifter for anything.
