I posted this on SoCalEVO but I know there are a lot of people on here that are not on SCE.

I like this shift knob enough to write a review on it. This is the end of a long process since 2008 to get a shift knob that I like enough to stop searching for shift knobs.

I usually do really long detailed reviews but I got tired of people asking for Cliff's Notes, so here are the Cliff's Notes.

*****

I don't want to do a super long review.

I have had the stock knob on 2 EVO VIIIs. It is aiiieeet. whatever.

I had the Razo Ball on my first EVO. The size was perfect but it wasn't weighted.

I got the ARC knob for both my EVOs because...well it is ARC. The piece is weighted and amazing but it was tiny for man sized hands.

For a while, I was in denial that this really mattered but then I just bit the bullet and got a LATHE WERKS knob.

It is the size of the Razo and heavier than the ARC.

This is the best knob I have ever used on an EVO, and my car shifts better with it for sure.

It just shifts smoother.



The ARC knob is 264g and is 1.5" (approx.)
The Lathe Werks knob is 270g and is 2"
Also, this is just a big hunk of beautifully machined Ti.
The ARC knob is a mass produced ball of Ti with a plastic insert...not as cool.

One other reason I am excited about this product is that is it just high quality grade A Titanium made and machined in the US.

Yup its a great product i have had one on my STI since 2007 and was the first thing i purchased. He does a great job and its nice to know its done by hand, and that insert is not going to break either its copper

nice.

I based my purchase off of an STi comparative review that is way better than my review.
