I serched for this topic and didnt find anything on it so here go's.
Please give me your opinions on short throw shifters for R's, are any of them good? don't get me wrong it shifts great now but I was just wondering.

thanks

We had a TWM one in and it was awful. The angle it has makes you smash your hand into the cupholder whenever you go into 3rd. The one we did use in the car was a B&M short throw. It felt good and looked good, too.

was it better than stock?

Didn't really notice a huge difference since the R's come with a factory short throw. I guess it's mostly personal preference.

I've got to check that out at the expoooooo.

I'm not using a short shifter, but the b&m shift stablizer kit is awesome. It lets you move the shifter so you're not stretching to get to gears

Sure. It works nice in conjunction with the Omni Power Quicklutch.
