C's if you like a really short shift between gears. I know some don't like it because the throw is so short.

I have been using RE-Amemiya for months and even though it's not the most extreme(short shifter) on the market for the price and fit and smoothness it's a WIN. good luck

pretty sure it's around 30% but not 100% sure. the fit and finish is very OEM. and i did see a difference in the throw. it's not the most aggressive(short) one out there but super NICE.

insomniac and KaiFD3S,

Do you guys ever experience any rattling with the C's ?

I have the Gotham shifter, and it rattles, and it's only slightly shorter than stock. I was going to make a rubber insert and see if that stops the rattling, but if not, I was considering the RE Amemiya shifter, and now I'm considering the C's.


Josh
