i dont care for the sogi mod. the stock height is fine to me. the short sogi one feels ergonomically wrong, and its not like youre getting any shorter throw, so whats the point?
'short' shifters are kinda lame to me.

I rather doubt it. It's impossible to tell from the pictures posted... and anyone making them would know that.

Errr... it absolutely shortens the throw by virtue of reducing the length of the stick. It's not as much as you get by changing the pivot point like the Cs unit, but it's still noticable.
Im gonna spend the money and go for the c's short shifter, i like the stock height, i just want a shorter throw.

Is this the c's short shifter? Is that the cheapest place?

seems like the mookeh one is the same as the c's but cheaper. And i havent heard of the part about using a diff gasket before. the bushing yes. wich gasket is it.

not to crap on 935... but the c's is a SIGNIFICANTLY higher quality... i promise.... yea c's is a true short shifter...yes they work great.... and yea they are kinda hard to find..
and no.... i wont sell mine:naughty:
Don't be trying to find a C's on a budget. They are stupid rare, and as such, command a premium price whenever they come available. I hadn't realized that Robert carried the replica C's, either, learn something new every day. 
i love the sogi shifter in my supa, it has a firm feel that u cant get with the stock its a very nice change from the old it is shorter, ill never change back
I've driven all four (Stock, Cut, Cs, and JK).
Please remember that the short "height" shifters are not any shorter in height than our factory shifter. Their center console is just much higher so the shifter appears shorter in height.
The "Cut" shifter is notchier and requires more force to shift.
Both the Cs and the JK shifter have similar height to the stock shifter but only require a flick of the wrist to shift gears.
In my personal opinion I would rather have the Cs or the JK (I actually have the JK) and then redesign the center console so it is higher in the middle where ours dips down. Take a look at the MR2 and the MkIV Supra and compare their center console to ours and you will quickly see what I am saying here.
I have also heard negative feedback from racers. Cutting your shifter (or even going with the Cs or JK shifters) causes you to miss shifts more frequently when racing.
In the end it all depends on you. If you like the look of the "cut" shifter and don't care as much about the performance then go for it. If you are a racer and want the best possible shifter for our car then go Automatic and it won't matter anyway.
