      you could use washers, but for $16 just pick up the bushing set.

      Where did you find your bushings for $16? Ebay?

      If and when it is rereleased, I'm planning on getting the BCSS, but does it include any new cable or base bushings, or should I go ahead and get these?

      Will this harm the tranny and the cable? Some mechanics told me not to install the aluminum cable bushing on my dailydriver coz it will make the tranny wear much faster. Not sure about the base bushing. if it will hurt too, I'll just sell it...

      I don't think the BCSS comes with any mounting hardware.

      did this the other day, super easy and made shifting much tighter. found the bushings on ebay for about $15, they seemed pretty good quality.

      also I found it was much easier to take off the upper dash panel as well to give yourself a little more room to work with.

      Just installed aluminum bushings to my ep3. It's really worth it. I suggest everyone do it. One thing I noticed right away was I didn't have to push the shifter into gear as hard as usual. It slides into gear more fluidly.

      P.S. I didn't order my bushings from Corsport. I found some ebay ones for only 15 bucks no shipping. Well worth the purchase!!
