Default Short Shifter

I'm looking at a bunch of diff. shifters on ebay(the cheap ones) and I'm not sure which one to get because I want the shifter to sit low and not stick up high like the stock one. I'm going for more of the appearance rather than the performance upgrade. I'm also going to get an Energy Shifter Bushing since I'll have the shifter out and might as well upgrade that. Thanks for any input.

Have fun grinding gears because you'll have a pretty good chance that it'll happen with a ebay shifter. I think the blox isn't as bad but I don't really know to much about them.

Skunk2 dual bend short shifter ftw with weighted Skunk2 Shift ****.

yea, they tend to grind while shifting fast in high RPMs... though the grinding noise I get seems to come from the shifter itself, not the transmission.
I'm getting rid of my eBay SS soon for a buddy club dual bend shifter.

Advice: Do it right the first time... learn from others' mistakes... like mine above.

my ebay shifter rubs but not enough to make me wanna grind it. Just hold the shift **** and it stops rattling. But i have heard of them breaking, i would recommend B&M or Skunk2

Blox is the basically the same as Skunk 2, but cheaper.

B&M is good, Skunk 2 is good, but if you do go cheap don't go for an Aluminum one. Those are the ones that snap in half, Billet Steel ftw!
