Someone asked me for thoughts on the AS SSK. Here goes:

I like it. 20% reduction is as high as I would recommend (I think much shorter throws may make it difficult to get gear engagement feedback, especially at the track). I chose the 80a+ bushing. I received only one bushing from Ron (mistake - should have been two). This was found when the car was already on the lift, exhaust down, etc. Ron apologized and recommended placing his bushing on the driver's side and leaving the OE bushing on the right side. In terms of noise, there was a slight whirling sound at the beginning (expected, as described by Ron). Either I got used to it or it has quieted down after a couple hundred miles. There's enough noise coming from the clutch engagement/disengagement and differential in this car that, to me, make any minor shifter noise irrelevant. I have no regrets.

I hope this helps.
