Shift knob suggestions?

Hello again! My TL-S is on its way across the country, so I’m busy researching what to start doing. One of my favorite modifications to manual cars is a weighted shift knob. I’ve found that some transmissions benefit from different weights. Any recommendations for the ideal weight for the manual Type-S?

Congrats on your pruchase. I'm personally a fan of the weighted shift knobs from the company likewise.

Not sure if there is an "ideal" weight to be honest.

123.4g exactly, nothing more and nothing less will suffice

Haha! I guess I was asking for that. I’ve seen some shift knobs that are .5 lbs and others that are 1.2 lbs. I’ve had cars that didn’t need a lot of extra weight to clean up the shifter feel and others that needed a bowling ball.
