I have the factory installed STI short throw linkage on my 14 WRX and still would like a shorter throw. I was thinking of doing the shifter and bushings; from what I have heard the Kartboy and Cobb work with the STI sts.
Which one would you recommend; both on the shifter and the bushings?
I have the cobb and I would get the Kartboy. Its a pain trying to get Cobb adjusted as low as possible without interference from the e brake. Just go with kartboy and be happy with the height. Unless you want a Cobb sticker.
Well I was gonna say the opposite haha. I have the Cobb and I love it. I have it adjusted pretty damn low and it's so nice. I thought it was pretty easy to install, just had to cut a bunch of the foam out of the way in the back otherwise it would hit.. And I went with the Kartboy bushings.
I tried to set it super low but the e brake gets in my way. You cant go wrong with either one. There is just a little more trial and error trying to find the "perfect" set up for the Cobb.
def get the bushings. get the full experience. just make sure you double check the orientation of the rear bushing before popping on there. i messed it up, and hurt my shoulder violently wrestling to get it off.
Kartboy is amazing. if you already have the short shifter I'd just get the bushings. I switched from the same shifter as you, to the shifter w/ bushings and it didn't shorten the shifts much, but the bushings made the shift feel 1000x better.
