doc iso all the way. Every bit as good or better quality wise and cheaper (not to mention you can get him to make it how you want it to an extent).

And if you go on his site.. I need to clarify the led portion of it.. people are emailing me asking for parts he makes I just do the led stuff on there.

just take youre pick of any.... there really is no "best", but Perrin isnt a good choice. But for quality and price, Doctor Isotope is hard to beat, unless brand is a must.
Also consider what kind of height drop you want.

Doctor isotope I have heard great things about and am ordering mine tomorrow,
Just wondering why you say Perrin is a bad choice I had looked at them, but couldnt figure out how it would work so I opted out I also couldn't find much info on it.

if you want something MODERATE (both in height and throw) the creative compacts/megan racing works well and is cheap.

Thing is...i remember when i first got it, it felt amazing, but after getting used to it....i can barely notice a difference. =(

Therefore, just IMO, i'd push towards dr. iso cause of the more noticeable throw reduction (on paper)

Yeah man u really need toiget one it feels weird at first but ull get used to it with the shifter bushing there is really no SLOP anymore its great they are a pain to put in but u just need to remove the airbox/or intake and use visegrips to pull the clips out of the shifter cable ends on the tranny side and push out the old rubber inserts..it took me like 1 hour and a few cuts but its in and i love it


For The Shift Boot:
when u do the swap take ur boot and flip it inside out and there is a little round clip..well not reall a clip but a round piece of metal and throw it out the window and flip it back to normal remove the chrome piece that normal sits under the ****. roll the top of the shift boot in and boom there u go u may need to adjust how far u roll it in so it sits straight as u can see i still have a little gap but i can fix it in like 2 sec
