Short Throw Shifter for BD?

I'm looking to change out the stock shifter in my 98 lgt for an sts and also replace the bushings.

 

I've heard good thing about the cobb sts but can't find one for an older legacy.

There are some sts for BD models on ebay but I'm skeptical about spending only 30$US for one from a company I haven't heard anything about.

 

Anyone have any suggestions on where to look to buy one or if any of the suppliers on ebay are worth anything?

 

Thanks,

Jonathan

After searching a bit more I found the cobb sts at subaruparts.com

This is actually for the 93-01 impreza but was told this fits a 98 lgt and will report back after it arrives and installs.

 

Also kartboy has a sts kit at http://www.allwheelengineering.com/products.html

I have a Kartboy in my '97.

how do you like your kartboy? I read about it being a bit rougher and requires some cutting.

IIRC correctly all the STS from 93-01 Impreza will fit your generation of Legacy. The tranny setup is pretty much indentical between the two cars.

Well, if it's any help, I bought the $25 eBay special and chopped the bar much shorter, rethreaded and installed a new shift knob.

It's pretty good!

It rattles alittle bit, even with the poly spacers I added that didn't come with it; but for the most part I love it.
