Garagistic short shift kit

Anyone bought and use one of these?

I'm not sure I want to try the chassis mounted shifters yet, although I hear good things about them.
Just want something crisper than the OEM set up and I can make my own DSSR and install all new bushing at the same time.
Thanks.

There's a big catch with these - you'll have to go solid or nearly solid engine/transmission mounts to properly use this! Are you ready for solid engine/transmission mounts? Watch some of their youtube videos - very informative.

I think the solid motor and trans mounts are required for the chassis mounted shifter but their Supreme short shifter (the one I'm looking at) they just recommend the stock carrier bushings be renewed with their Delrin or poly bushes.
I think, at least that's how I'm reading it.
I'm lucky if I can make it to the track once a year so trying to find the happy medium between crispness and vibration.

Ahhh - I misread your original post and thought you were talking about their chassis mounted shifter as everything that I've read/seen about Garagistic shift kits were their chassis mounted shifters. Pretty good price for a short shifter if it can improve on the OE feel/shifts.
