Heavy weight shift **** recommendations

So, I just ordered a short throw shifter from rotary shack, and now I want to change my **** while I'm at it. Anyway, I know that the heavier the better. Before the negative comments start, I did searched through previous posts for recommendations.

So, I do like the razo ra120 ****, but unfortunately I can't find it anywhere for sale. I have seen a lot of products from nrg. Do they make quality stuff? Any other ***** recommendations that are currently available? Maybe you have a heavy **** you want to sell?

Anyway, I have a 87 gxl. Thanks

there is this one and it has a good rep
R-Magic Heavyweight Super Shift **** SA FC FD SE - RHDJapan

don't have one myself since i have a custom **** being made right now coming in from from another member here, but yeah this one is a good one. from what i've read a heavy **** is better for the short shifter. since you don't have the same leverage as a tall one the weight helps with the shifting. someone correct me if im wrong.

Damn,I wish I could recall the name of the Shifter that I have on my car.
You could literally use it as a boat anchor.
Custom piece that I bought off a member here,that he had won at an Auto meet.

when you are looking at your cart it lets you get a quote of the shipping costs, but generally its relative to what you buy of course. the bigger and more expensive the item is the more its gonna cost to ship. they use FEDEX, EMS, and DHL. DHL is the cheapest route. for the ***** i suggested it is 18 bucks to ship via DHL to washington .

I used the Razo in the past:

Razo 340 Gram Black Chrome Aluminum Sphere Shift **** - Galant Vr-4 91-92 Shift ***** - Galant VR-4 91-92 - Interior - DSM Performance Parts | DSMparts.com

Universal adapter is included. I wish I had photos of it, it's great with a stock shifter, super notchy with the Mazdatrix short shifter.
