Anyone Have hIGGI's shift kit ?

I am planning on getting this soon i was wondering if anyone here has this kit. I have a few questions.

Was this installation easy ? Does anyone have pics of it installed? What would be the importance of replacing the bushings ? Whats your opinion of this kit vs others ?

Thanx Josh

Hi josh.
I bought a shift kit from hIGGI a few months back, and i must say that im pleased with it. It comes with all the installation hardware except the 8$ bushings.
The shift feels so much nicer and is approximately 50% shorter. Overall a really nice package in good quality.

Ill give it two thumbs up

Glad you gave me the link. my "local" mazda dealership is about 150 miles away. For some reason Mazda just isn't very big in Arkansas.

I dont care about aluminium ***** because i live in Denmark, and we only have summerlike conditions 4 months a year, you know alu. hot in the summer, freezing in the winter just like leather seats.

Yeah, but strut tower bars will be more likely only for CZ and some other european guys because in USA its not problem to get them really cheap and easy.....And its too big/heavy piece to ship it overseas.....

But on other stuff, don`t hesitate to email me
