ej25_TS Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 This is probably the wrong section but Looking to get a Shift knob and Short Throw Shifter and wanted some opinions. http://image.hondatuningmagazine.com/f/tech/htup_1007_cobb_shift_knob/33554946++w750+ar1/htup_1007_02_o+cobb_shift_knob+shift_knob_shot.jpg vs http://www2.kartboy.com/x4/images/P/BLK-5spd.jpg and http://www.maperformance.com/images/T/Cobb_212315.jpg vs http://www.prospeedracing.com.au/product_images/t/kartboy_ss_subaru__83978.jpg Any thoughts would be appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobyscoodle Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Cobb knob, Cobb STS, KB bushings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qckslvr Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 I have the Cobb Knob on a Kartboy and FWIW I love this setup. I have a set of bushings that I didnt install yet because it already feels amazing. Nice thing about the Kartboy is no settings to come loose.

thisisthenewsic Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 I have had the Cobb sts on 2 of my subarus. I love the adjustmentsz being able to pick the height of the shifter and how short the throw is was what sold me. I also have the Cobb knob. Great knob for the price and it doesn't get hot.

OneJay Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 I have the Kartboy in mine, and it feels fine, but a little notchy sometimes. Propably the same with any STS though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeltaNu1142 Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Cobb knob, STS, and bushings here. I like it. No basis for comparison other than to stock. Tits mcgee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ej25_TS Posted June 29, 2012 Author Share Posted June 29, 2012 are the bushings worth it? I hear the rear is a pain to install and doesn't do much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALX2987 Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Kartboy ss and bushings. Bushings made a huge difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m sprank Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Bushings are what give the shifter the "gated" feel. Too tight on the torque and it tends to "bind" up. Meaning very difficult shifts. Trick is not over tightening front bushings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ej25_TS Posted June 30, 2012 Author Share Posted June 30, 2012 Alright leaning towards Kartboy STS. Thanks guys. Any recomened sites or vendors? I was look at Fastwrx and Rallysport direct. 5 speed impreza is compatible correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jasejase Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 I ended up with the spt sts on my 6 speed... Love it. From what i understand, the 5 speed aftermarket options are a bit better than the 6 speed options... I have driven the cobb/mode before, and it felt nice to me.
