Can anyone with the above Short Shift kit give their opinion of it in comparison to standard. I am considering purchasing via the group buy.

Any opinion would be greatly appreciated.

I think Spec B Wgn has it.... but not on his Liberty.

All the tuned by sti Lib have this item. shorter throw is exactly what you get, I rate it reasonable good compared to others I have used such as the Kartboy. No idea about how are it is to install as I have only ever done this mod on WRX and that was pretty easy. Well worth having in my mind.

as mentioned above...

i have a kart boy short shifter in my WRX STI and its the best mod i have ever done

reduces the throw by a couple of inches and the stick itself as well.

The factory kit is alot more expensive then the kart boy .

No BS guys the kart boy shifter in conjunction with a new set of bushes (must have) to stiffen the stick up
work an absolute treat.. Im sure the OEM kit would do the same but its hugely more expensive

i think i paid $US approx $250 ... even fitted it myself.. the reverse lockout pin for the 6 speed is a bit of a bugger but otherwise its quite easy to do

Well group buy is $440 (plus whatever cost install) being 30% odd cheaper than Subaru RRP.



Sway bars, front strut or short shift. So many options

I think I'd prefer to keep it an OEM shift. Anyone else? GFB kits around?

So far:

Sti OEM = 1
Kartboy (approx $320 AUD) = 1

I know, i want one of these soo bad aswell! I just dont know if i can warrant the $450 though...how much are new bushes (fitted) roughly, if they're that "must have"?

thats a lot of kit for the money... just make sure its the whole box and dice as pictured
i remember these being a $1,500 factory option
the kart boy was only the stick and bushes..

that not to bad of a price for a group by

how many are in this group buy???

Yep - plenty of interest, couple waiting for shipping prices. Hit me up if you're interested.

Cheers

as i said before this is the best mod ever.

Ive had mechanics drive my car and even they have mentioned to
me that the stick feels awesome... no slackness and really slick inthe changes.

its a must if you have some spare coin.

the bushes tighten up the slackness so just dont do the stick only.

So this kit doesnt come with the bushes? How much would the bushes be installed?

yer sorry duck. the bushings onthe kart boy kit are an extra and made specifically for the kit... i think approx US$35

to install i would say approx $100.

Where would you get them from?
