To get back on track I've got some input.

I've ordered a few things and have always had good service, speedy delivery, and quick email responses. All in all A+. The parts aren't the best out there of course, but you're paying a quarter the price, anyone with a brain knows that.
However today I installed a pair of the 'hard tie rods' on a customer's car and found a surprise. He also bought the pillowball rod ends and with both installed and fully threaded in, the car had massive toe-in. The new units were physically too long, much longer than the OE units. The rods were bottomed out into the ends and there was no way the car was remotely driveable. In a pinch, I took one off and cut off about an inch of the threaded end with a PorterCable. That was enough to get it back to OE spec, but with still very limited adjustment. Just a headsup to buyers.

These guys have very good customer service. I just ordered their short shifter, the b&m knockoff, not the adjustable height one. Only took like 3 days to get it. Nicely detailed instructions were included, though not required as it's a very straight-forward and easy install. Shifter feels great, nice crisp clean shifts, very solid, and a considerably shorter throw than stock. Very nice product for a great price. I reccomend it to anyone looking for a short shifter. This is one of the best "knock-off" parts that I've seen. Feels very similar to the real B&M shifter.
