IT has them.. some people like them some don't i think it's more personal preference than pure performance..

Firstly, for the A4, it is an awesome upgrade. I had it on my B5 and B6 and when I demodded to return the B6 off lease, I had forgotten how much rowing the car needed from the factory. I'm sure there are a ton of guys in your neck of the woods who'll be happy to show you their short shifters. I bought one for my B7 but frankly, I haven't tossed it in yet due to the S4 having a shorter throw than the A4 ... I may end up selling it so if you're interested, let me know.

Bryan at IT can be contacted via phone: (416) 628-1483. 110 Crockford Blvd, Unit 3
Toronto, Ontario M1R 3C3. Knowledgeable shop and very fair labour prices. Although I live in Ottawa I have done a fair amount of business with him.

Cheers !

Steve

Just got off the phone with Brian...
The shifter is $250 & $70 for the install... (in case anyone else was wondering)

im debating whether it's worth spending that much for it...
ill let every1 know when i do.
thanks for all the help.
