i have one, and have driven approx 18000 miles with one. IMO they are suited to the job, and are adjustable to the individual users requirements.

my94wrx came over with a razo quick on it and while it was excellent at first, i then got a paddle clutch fitted and to be honest, dont know how the gearbox hasnt fallen out!!! harsh is not the word! i've learned to use it but as for the missus....ouch!!! you just cant slam it through the gears anymore for fear of gearbox destruction.
having said that, as long as you dont do owt daft like getting a fukin paddle fitted get one!!

I've tried a few of them including the BR one, the JW is fully adjustable from the shortest most unshiftable position back down to standard, it is great and is so well made I'd definitely go for it!

Christian, when Bob Rawle drove my car whilst mapping, he said that my gear change was shorter than his, IIRC. He also said he liked it.

I had one before picking up a cheap prodrive shifter.

With the JWR i had to fit an extra rubber washer, i had a slight rattle from between the ally block of the shifter and the OEM 'C' bit.

A good shifter for the money.

Me too. Have tried a couple of the others, a little disappointed with the aesthetic values, but suppose you can't see them when installed.

The JW Racing shift looks best, feels the most substantial, and provides a shift as short as you want.

Damn good price too

:S Confused now, if all orders come online, the delivery is circa 2-3 weeks then you will be charged before they leave.

Sorry you are confusing me, you can only buy JW racing quick shifts from me, I sent an email out to somebody last week with group buy prices.
