Is the RX7 store short shift kit really identical to the Mazdaspeed kit, they claim it is. Anyone have one?

I would look into the B&M or Pettit. I have the B&M right now, and I love it. It reduces the throw by 33%, and it replaces the whole base. I hear the Mazdaspeed one (and the RX7store one) is only the shifter, and while it reduces the throw by 50%, you have to use the stock base. The B&M is a direct bolt on, and the Rx7store one will take some work. Pettit reduces by 50%, too, I believe, but I am not sure on how they put it together (the ease of installation). I personally went with B&M because it is easier to install, works great, and costs less than the others.

In my last FD I had the Mazdaspeed, it was very nice and only took 10-20 minutes to install. My friend bought the B&M about the same time and I installed his as well, it took the same amount of time to install. I drove his car after the install, I honestly like the Mazdaspeed shifter better.

I have the Mazdatrix shortshifter. I believe it's a copy of the Mazdaspeed as well. Throws are short, but it's a bit stiff, and I've had it for several thousand miles.
