Default Better short stick, Lou's or WS6 Store

I'm planning on getting a short stick soon and wasn't sure if there was a diffrence between the two, if so which is better between them.

I see you have a pro 5.0 and I just installed one with a lous short stick. I am in love, it is curved slightly to the drivers side so it provides a great position to slam through the gears. I didn't think i was going to like the slight curve but I love it. The car is so much more fun to drive now after that crappy stock shifter is gone. Deff do a shorter stick I have no experience with the ws6 store but the lous is great in my book

I'm happy with my ws6store shortstick. I know some people have problems with them, but I've had none so far.

I know thats been one of the issues with it, but like I said, I havent had any problems with it. It sits a little bit further to the right than stock, but I'm happy with it. Good luck with yours.

What he said. It would've been nice to have a notch to bring it towards the driver a bit since the Pro 5.0 shifter has 1st pretty much in the center of the shifter area... hasn't given me any problems in the 20k miles I've had it in there...

Well I had a stock shifter with a lous short stick and it was in the middle so that is why I didn't think I was going to like the slight bend but it is deff good

WS6Store sells a 6" and a 6.5" version. I didn't think I'd want it too short, so I got the 6.5". It's not angled, so 1st sit kinda where 3rd used to be with my old Hurst stick, but after like 5 minutes, you don't even notice. GREAT piece.

+1 for WS6store
