Best S5 short shifter: Mazdaspeed, C's, Mazdatrix?

I heard that C's is going back into production on theirs and will be available again by summer. Is it worth waiting/paying for?

Thanks,

Bill

Well I'll assume that the s4 and s5 short shift kits are both about the same. The mazdatrix one has a firmer more solid shift whereas the mazdaspeed one has a shorter shift. Never tried the C's one though. Cost too much IMO. I also think this has been covered before.
edit: MR is the same as mazdaspeed?

s4 and s5 kids are slightly different at times, depending on the short shifter (at least for Mazdatrix).

And FYI C's is available at http://www.rx7.com.

hmm, i would think that only diff between s4 and s5 is the thread pitch. one is 10x1.25 and the other is 10x1.5
i think FB and S4 are 1.5 and s5 and FD are 1.25

I'm pretty sure the only difference between s4 and s5 is the threading for the **** as said above. Lot's of s4 guys swap to s5 shifters. I have a C's and love it. Got it used on the forum for $105.
