Short shifter levers that are the same (or taller) than stock?

I'm looking into getting a short shift kit for my 04 Evo. However, I've noticed quite a few of the kits are a good deal shorter than the stock lever. I don't really want this, in fact, I'd prefer the lever to be a bit higher (decreases shifting effort).

Can anyone point me in the direction of one that is the same height as stock, if not a bit taller?

Thanks!

WORKS ss kit. I have the 30% reduction.. it's great. It has the same "bends" as stock so if u take off the sticker.. you wouldn't be able to tell it was not stock. The shifting is good and priced as much as the others out there.

B&M adjustable short shifter is simply amazing. installed one on an 8 this weekend using the 45% reduction and the throws are so short its crazy. it also has the 15% reduction which we didnt test but im sure it would be close to as good. you can change the bend of the B&M from right, center, or left. might wanna check out putting the shifter base bushings and the underhood bushings, an 8 that I drove with them had no short shifter but felt very good in the shifts...just a thought

+1..much more direct feel from stock. For more info try searching b/c just last week someone else had the same question and got a lot of feedback. Also look at getting a counterweight shift knob for a better shift feel and underbase bushings, etc all pretty cheap additions.
