I got some of these and they are awesome. I might be mistaken but i think a true short-throw shifter is still the same height as a stock shifter.

hope this helps

i think they are actually shorter most of the time. Im not sure of kits designed for rx7 but if you swap the maita one on then its deff shorter.

Actually a true short shifter really doesn't need to be shorter. All of the RX-7 specific are stock height.

The Miata one is a little different, since it's for a Miata of course.

the stock boot works fine for all the shifters I've seen. I have a friend who's shifter broke in half and he just screwed a **** onto the bottom half and the stock boot still works fine.
