(based on g35d forums) everyone really wants to get a 2nd gen stillen ssk or the rogue engineering ssk... RE's are super hard to find, but 350evo.com has an ssk they said they collaborated with rogue to make, so a lot recommended that one

cons ive heard is that it takes a bit more force, but the throw is still reduced quite a bit

the most significant pro i want out of it is the reduced vibrations while in gear... really really annoying... it actually makes my momo shift **** loose after a few days (i kno i can use loctite, but i havent bothered bc i might be changing it out later

i jus finished installing the ssk... (it didnt take me 5 hrs, only 2 bc i got distracted)

gonna shower and then test drive... but just shifting in the garage... wow.. it feels short and quick... it is more rough going in and out even tho i put a ton of grease, but it feels nice.. so far.. will post again in an hr or so

*edit*

i love it... gonna take a bit to get use to the tightness but i think its pretty neat and nice improvement over stock

whether its worth 200 or not. well that would be up to you i think its borderline worth it for me.. i would probably have been more happy spending 280 on an isothermal spacer, ah well.. thats next on the list either way
