I've always wondered how a lot of people claim that a heavier shift knob helps against a gear popping out.

But I have heard these sweet Drift Spec Knobs help you drift 12.3% better, so they're probably worth buying.

its not a bad looking shift knob, and the added wieght really makes shift knobs feel more solid... but did they really ahve to call it drift spec? I wonder if tire companys will make drift spec tires...

is Razo even popular in japan??

RAzO/Carmate...they have a GT300 car (S15) they're like the APC of Japan.

Anyway, if I were to recommend a great shift knob, TOMEI Duracon. Best shift knob EVAR! I don't even own one (yet) but from feeling on other people's cars, holy crap! like a glove

Here's my shiftknob:

it's on a stock shifter... super long throw, but awesome leverage. I really like it. =) The Pivot BigLo isn't that big btw... it's hollow also... I saw it in person at Jspec last week... kinda a cool knob though.

Heres mine,Again sits kinda high with a long throw but with my recaro seats set up the way they are,the shift knob is perfect for spirited driving.No reacing for it or uncomfortable shifting.

I got Greddy/Grex heavy shift knob.. at first it felt like it was cutting up my hand from the edges, but i think it smoothed out over time.

My friend had one of those. He got it from his buddy in Japan. I thought it was the gayest/funkiest looking shift knob ever. .....so he sold it for 50 bucks!

50 bucks! can you believe someone paid 50 bucks for it? DAMN!

What an ignorant statement.

hmm, the only ignorance I can tell is that you think I am hating on RAzO by stating they're like APC. I'm not one of the people out there that curse APC because of how they made success out of the whole euro/altezza light trend. I say Razo is like APC because for both of them, most of their business is based on cosmetic accessories.

You didn't say they were 'like APC' You said they were the 'APC of Japan', implying something other than commercial success through accessory sale.

you guys are the biggest bunch of faigs i have ever witnessed.

take your "drift-derived" shift knobs and drift them up your fucking culos.

then, while you're at it, you can put the pink fluffy sparkly ones in your mouth.

jesus.. whats wrong with everyone here.

If anything needds to be "drift spec"... my vote goes towards alarm systems....

a lot of the drift craze stuff is pretty dumb IMO, i think the bubble shift knobs are dumb as hell, but hey, if someone else wants them, fine, doesnt bother me at all, dont sweat it, its not like u have to shift with it everyday. And the new exhaust trend in japan, of having 3 extra feet of exhaust pipe shoot straight up after the back bumper, directly hurting performance, its just dumb. But once ONE drift guy in japan does it, then it must be cool, right? so everyone here in the u.s who thinks they're gonna grow up and be in D1, gets em, its ridiculous. Have your own style, whatever it may be: jdm, oldschool, crazy sticker covered, led's everywhere, whatever, just stop following whatever anyone does in japan.

You prolly think this trend is new in Japan because it's new to you. It's been going on for a long time for years way back. But due to your location I can understand why your a bit behind on thing being good or bad. :naughtyd:
