Short Shifters with JCW Shifter??

Finally had my alcantara JCW shifter installed. Was out of stock when my car came in. I waited 10,000 miles to bring it back for the install as I didn't want to give it up for a day.

Anyway. Had the JCW installed. Feels great...love it.

However, if feels like it's a bit taller which makes the throws seem longer.

I was driving my friend's GT3RS with a short shift kit for a few days so maybe that has something to do with it.

...but I swear it feels like a longer throw now.

So obviously I want to keep the same shifter....but make the throws shorter. What's a good way to get that done? Also, do all the kits need to be installed with a lift, exhaust drop, ect, ect? I'd prefer not but hey whatever you gotta do.

Thank you!!

These will do the trick without having to change the stock shifter:

I think you'll have to drop the exhaust either way you go, which is obviously easier done with a lift but not necessary to get the job done.

GT3RS......WANT!
