http://www.ilovebodykits.com/product...odykits_c.html

If you have cash, Forbiden FTW. bar none. but they're going out of business IIRC.
Look for 92-96 Prelude VTEC shifter. much shorter than the Accord/CL shifter. Look good enough, you'll find one for cheap.

On the forbidden motorsports website it states that the short shifter is only 1/2" shorter than a stock prelude shifter... how short are the stock ones dicorp?

The picture on that link is a generic short shifter for 92-00 Civics.. The adapters they make for our cars are really annoying and i wouldnt reccomend it..

get a Pspec one..

no idea, how short it is...prolly inch shorter than the CL.


again, it's a question of money.

anywhere around 30-50$ for Prelude shifter from a junkyard or part out.
100+ for the Forbidden. you get what you pay for.

I love my Pspec... short shifter is prolly one of the best mods you can do... besides suspension... and HIDs. haha.. it feels like a totally different car almost... it also helps with an h22 though... but I'm sure you'll notice the difference if you do get a short shifter anyways.
