Default ws6 store short stick vs ebay

hey guys i'm planning on buying a short stick in the next few days and was wondering if anyone had any experience with the ws6 store one vs the one for sale on ebay (i believe the seller is tnamotorsports). both are $25 but the ebay one comes with an additional metal spacer thing that the ws6 store doesn't include that supposidly centers the stick better than stock. also, the ws6 store one is available in 6 and 6.5 inches and the ebay one is only in 6.5 inches. anyone had problems with a 6 incher hitting the console or anything?

Well i got the WS6 stick and love it. Not sure if its 6 or 6.5. I doubt you would notice a diff. Real good cheap mod...IMO and alot of people have it and like it. I think the only issue with short sticks is when you have an after market shifter like a pro 5.0. Stock hurst is fine.

I have the 6.5" WS6store shifter and love it. While it's not "centered" like your old shifter, like 5 minutes later you won't notice and be good. I recommend WS6store. As far as console hitting, do you have a factory Hurst shifter? If you don't have a Hurst, it will hit.

I have a pro 5.0 with half the stick pro 5.0(the lower piece that connects to the shifter) and the other half ws6 store welded togheter, about 6.5" and itīs perfect.

yes i have the factory hurt shifter. it is angled a bit towards me so i was just wondering if it was centered if it would be a bother or not. that's the only reason i was thinking about the tnamotorsports one from ebay.

I have the ws6 store 6" and i love it. I dont know about the centering thing it feels pretty comfortable to me WAY nicer then the stock shifter. It took a minute to get used to but after that its just great.

nah the umi one is $27 plus shipping. so it'l be like $35 after. 95% of the reviews of the ws6store ones are positive with about 5% of people saying theirs are hitting the console, but like someone above said, that may be because they don't have the factory hurst. i still haven't heard from anyone with the tnamotorsports one from ebay yet. if i dont by the end of the week i'll probably just get the 6" from ws6store.
