Trying to decide which short shifter to get..

Well i'm trying to decide which one to get between 2 different B&M short shifters.. here's both of the links..

here is the one i'm leaning towards..(54% throw reduction)
http://www.optauto.com/webstore/prod...=yes&dept=1032

and heres the other one that is about 80 dollars cheaper..(40% throw reduction)
http://www.optauto.com/webstore/prod...=yes&dept=1032

any suggestions on which one to get? thanks in advance

yeah you just pop the mounting cup off of the stock shifter and put it back in. piece of cake

just dont tighten the bottom trough bolt up too much or the shifter will be too stiff

alright thanks man, i can't wait till it comes in.. my friend got a short shifter and i was playing with it changing gears and then i went home and drove my car... ahh it felt like i was driving a manual truck because of how long the shift throw was. but anyways, i'll tell you how i like it once it comes in the mail and i put it on my car.
