Well I had my installed. A little disappointed as not a great difference between stock. What I did notice was a not so floppy or flimsy shift between gears. A more solid feel, but expected or hoped for a significant shorter shift between gears. I used the stock knob which drops the height by 1 inch. Was worried about going to low and have problems with shifting into reverse. I'm going to order the MGW standard gripper shifter knob which should drop it down another 2 inches. I might add that I'm really impressed with the MGW quality, price, and service. My 2 sons purchased the 4 chrome gauge rings from MGW which look great, fit great, and delivered ASAP. I was so impressed that I purchased the chrome drink holder ring, and chrome bezel. It really dresses up the interior. Next items from MGW are the radio knob, AC rings, and chrome license plate holder. I was worried about the chrome clashing or looking out of place with the pearl bright door handles. It doesn't!
