Default Whats your opinion???

I am in the market for a short shifter and since B&M discontinued theirs for the IS300 1st Gen product line, the only choice I have is either Ralco for $123 or a generic brand that sells em for $65.

Should I go for the Ralco or the generic brand??? Also if there is any other brand that makes short shifter for 2003 IS300, that would be phenomenal!!!

Thanks for any feedback from this post...

Check my.is for the Karl sport shifter. You can find it towards the bottom in the vendor section under Nigel jdm parts. I'm not sure if it has been advertised here. I'd give you a link but I'm on my phone

Like I said I have the B&M and it is great. My old roommate has the Ralco and after driving his it is virtually the same thing.

Ralco. Karl isn't actually available yet.
I think he needs two more buyers for it to go into production, and only 20 will be made.
