Yeah, I know it's not on an STI, but I thought I'd share my experience non-the-less.

Installed the TiC super shift set about two weeks ago and love the feel of the setup -- it did take a bit to get used to as the gears are a little closer.

Kit containts:

# Kartboy lever for the 2008 5MT
# Kartboy 5MT front shifter stay bushing
# Kartboy rear shifter stay bushing
# TiC shift linkage bushings
# TiC pivot bushings

and some fancy TiC and Kartboy stickers.



The overall height of the shifter is not much shorter than stock, but the throw is reduced by maybe half. It is pretty short now. The bushings -- as most of you know are a great addition to the shifter. The package I bought replaced all the linkage bushings. The Kartboy bushings replaced the rubber stay bushings with urethane, and the TiC bushings replaced some squishy plastic with hard urethane ones.



Because I removed the entire shifter and linkage assembly I was able to take apart the cup and install the shifter pretty easily (non-brute force method)



I highly recommend the Kartboy lever and bushing package. If your going to crawl under the car to install the Kartboy bushings, I recommend picking up the TiC bushings to finish off the package, they aren't much more and will stiffen it up a little more.



PS...this little pin was a royal pain in the ass:
