Also this has been reiterated throughout the entire thread but the AS SSK + UCP are definitely worth it. The UCP was really weird at first but it is much more comfortable than the normal clutch position. The only thing I don't really like about the UCP is that it is kinda slippery.

I got the SSK with 20% reduction, which I kind of wish I got a little less, but it is definitely the highest I would go. I also got a 10mm drop which is perfect for raceseng shift knobs, since I felt it was a little too high on the OEM shifter.
I've modded and fitted 2 x BMW shift knob / boots no problem.

Can you post any pictures of your issue? Maybe I can help?

The BMW shift knobs and boots are one piece plastic-welded together. They are purchased as a single item from BMW.

The knob has to be broken off the ring that is glued into the shift boot. This leaves the ring in place which cannot be removed from the boot fabric.

I then used a 20mm drill bit by hand to open up the ring so it fitted over the raceseng adapter post, then the new knob just screws down over the top of the boot covering the ring.
