I am thinking of getting one, what are your guys' opinions on them? how much do they lower the position of the shifter, and the throw?
Thanks!

get the cfm adjustable one!

Here is the FC Race shifter, the Steeda(Ford Racing) STS, and the factory.
Notice the Steeda(FR) is longer down below the pivot ball.

I don't have a pic of the adjustable to compare to but my understanding is the top half is adjustable height. Not the bottom half.

Probably a stupid question but which one is better?

i dont have a sts in my focus, but if i had to buy one, it would be the adjustable cfm shifter. check out www.centralfloridamotorsports.com. they have everything you need.

I have the CFM adjustable one and like the way it feels. Would recommend def recommend a short throw shifter.

I have the ford racing one, its baller. before i got it, i would miss 2nd all time even if i shifted slow. but i have had the fr sts in for over a year and never missed a shift during spirited driving........
but i dont know how they compare in price

 

[sonicsvt3]

i have steeda and love it ALOT improvement over stock

 

[svtf1417]

thank you very much for that picture! ive been asking how much shorter the shifter itself sits and nobody has been able to tell me. My buddies Dad can get one for me for free cuz he works for Ford Racing =D

^^^Height comparison installed in the car: (FRPP or Steeda shifter vs Stock)

Here’s the before (left) and after (right) pic showing the difference in the shifters.
Stock height was 7-3/4”, and the STS is 6-3/8”

The above pic is from this "How To" thead:

I have the Steeda Short Throw shifter ... It feels better than stock, has a "Short Throw" and doesn't feel like I need to "Lean - Over" to reach the shifter.

Very comfortable.

Side Bar:
Oh and I remember that "How-To"; I bought the shifter the week that was posted ... a Great Write Up I might add.

Here is before and after pics of the CFM adjustable STS which I would highly recommend. However, if you can get the FR one for free, then that would definitely be the way to go.
