Just wondering what short shifter kits you guys would recommend. Also looking for shifter bushings. lmk what brands you guys recommend.

Kits basically have boiled down to Buddy Club ($150 on ebay, mostly plastic, but fairly bulletproof anyway) and Hybrid Racing ($400 at their site; very beefy, plenty of potential adjustments, but more difficult of an install, imho).

I like the BCSS (Buddy Club Short Shifter), but basically because it required fewer band-aids after install, and it's good enough for me. Most people swear by the Hybrid one, though.

Bushing - there are many versions, and I haven't seen anyone really complaining about one brand specifically. I got mine from Corsports, and they've been good. You also should get shifter springs, as they're stiffer than stock and help with getting the short shifters into a neutral position while in neutral.

Enjoy the shopping!

My car had a kit the Neuspeed used to make that seems to work just fine. I have never used the Buddy Club or Hybrid Racing shifters, so I can't compare, but I've heard that they are a far better setup.

I'd have to look up which bushings I have, but assuming the dimensions are correct I can't imagine there is a huge difference in brands.

Still new to this platform, so take the above with a handful of salt.

No, you're spot on. No salt needed.
