Hey guys (n gals)

Im looking into an STS (short throw shifter) and am stuck between 2.

the CFM STS http://focus.c-f-m.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=1203

and the steeda STS http://focus.c-f-m.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=1924


which one do you guys suggest? and any other suggestions?

thanks

My suggestion is you could modify yours... these shifters are only shorter right? I dont think they change the point that the cable attaches or anything else. Can someone verify this or correct me as I have a stock unmolested shifter.

They both change the shift points, but the CFM one is a better product from what I've seen. It has a shorter shift (longer shift point), has adjustable height, & is just a better constructed shifter. I've seen enough steeda shifters snap to never want to buy one.

^ the only one that adjusts in height is for the svt

i have the Steeda/FRPP STS. I bought it mainly because I DD my car and it still allows me to be lazy and rest my elbow on the center console and shift with my wrist. Its about 1in lower than stock and cuts on the length, not drastically, of the 1-2 and out into 5th shifting because of the linkage points.

ok, well so the CFM is better build quality and is shorter, is it pain to shift with it compared to the steeda??

And i want a STS with better shift points, not just about its length

I think it s about the same in terms of shift length, the cfm one just sits lower.

steeda.

Here's a link to a groupbuy on my home forum & it compares the Stock v Steeda v CFM & you can see the difference.

Faster than u, I think CFM had adjustable & non-adjustable ones but on their site there's only the adjustable ones listed. Not completely sure though.

hum, im thinkin i would still go with the cfm

 

[SlimShady]

the steeda shifter is the exact same as the FRPP shifter. they changed from where the bottom link is and makes it so u dont have to shift as far which in turn makes a shorter shift.

the CFM one copy this and added adjustablity to it and its not even a solid piece.

IMO i would get the Steeda/FRPP one.

it says right at the top of your link that those are for the SVT not the regular zx3. if you look at the links in the first post the cfm one is in no way adjustable, its one fing peice of metal. lok at the links b4 posting next time

the hacking off ur shifter works, but it doesn't adjust the pivot point to make the throw shorter

 

[s_montgomery]

i see that now from the pictures in that post. mlb did u ever sell your FC sts?
