Default Stage 2 or the Dr. Isotope?

Just picked up a '08 tC, can't decide which SS to get.
Are those current products fit the '08 model?
Also do you guys sugggest to change those bushings (base and cable) as well? Thanks.

Doc I... no question about it. Price is great, options are good and the product is nice. Get a gearswitcher kit (one of the variations) and install it all (including cable bushings) and you will be happy,

I dont think you would go wrong either way. I have doc Is and its very nice, shifting now is awesome and more fun. base and cable bushings are must, you wont regret it.

2.5 vs 2.5 so far, thanks guys! Will make up my mind on Monday and place the order. I am sur I will install both bushings!


My other concern is, 2.5" reduction in height on Stage 2 will it be too short?

^^ It depends on your preference, I have 2" from Docs and its just perfect not too short. If you get docs you can have custom height, 50% shift throw reduction, and good price

i like docs, cheaper i believe and if you wanna keep stock height w/ same 50% reduction then theres no question then. he also uses the OEM shifter, so you know it's reliable.

Doc I's. I bought a 2 inch height drop, threw on the Classic leather OBX **** and it sits at stock height but with a shorter throw. Sweeeetness.

Doc I also made me a shift collar so that my setup (1.5 drop in height, 50% reduction and OBX leather ****) has a nice clean look too :D

How much is the shift collar from Doc I and what color he offers? I plan to buy a Momo **** and Redline boots. Thinking about a Mono e-brake cover too, but not sure it looks good or not.....

Thanks again guys I think I decide to go for Doc I with 2" drop and both bushings.

They will both be fairly close in performance. BUT you will have amazing customer service through Doc.

Go with DOC I.
