Got this installed Sunday... best $180 Dollars I've ever spent! Feels like I'm driving a completely different car. I got it from Meng Motosports (sweet company) http://stores.mengmotorsports.com/-s...ter/Detail.bok

I'm very satisfied with the throw and height reduction! wheather you decide on the ARK short shifter or what ever short shifter... I highly recommend you get one! Its definatly worth it! Really fun to drive now.











and what the hell... camera was out so here is a couple random pictures of my car lol.

 

very nice..whats the height reduction on this.....

 

2.5

 

x2 i love my shifter, i have the same one.

 

what the throw reductions, and what are you lowered on? looks clean

 

the box says: Precise ergonomic design to reduce shift travel between 25% and 54%... and on ARK web site specifically for the scion short shifter it says 49% throw reduction.

So I don't know the exact percentage... but it feels about half the amount of work to shift compared to OEM.

Love it!

Lowered on Eibach Sportlines

 

48%

 

i dont have this short shifter but a buddy as it and it lovely. This is the short shifter im getting next cant wait

 

I have always wondered if the height reduction is comfortable. I know in race applications they make the shifters longer while retaining the short throws thus there is less time traveled from steering wheel to shifter by the right hand...
But for DD mode, is it comfortable? I am considering this or the TWM, Since Doc I isn't making any shifters right now.

 

ive always been skeptical of short shifters as ive heard they can really damage your tranny

 

yeah its either this or the twm for me also. i wish doc i was still making his or i would buy one in a flash

 

Since I leave for basic training on monday I emailed him asking if i could send him my shifter core (since the car will just be in the garage all summer) and maybe he can make me one.

 

talk about luck man. haha i read all about it and what not and if you just buy all his bushings it seems like its essentially the same thing.

 

just got my ARK in today...cant wait to install it first thing tomorrow

 

180 wtf? so expensive

 

yeah i cant imagine it performs better than the megan or even the perrin SS that cost a lot less...

 

or the TWM stage 2

 

Real nice!

 

i've contacted dr isotopes couple times, he doesn't sell them publicly but he'll still make it for you privately

 

I shelled out the money for this short shifter. I ordered the Megan Racing SS a while ago, but it was on back order for a while so the company gave me my money back so I spent it on other stuff for my tC. I was between the TWM stage 2 and the Ark V2; since the TWM didn't come with any bushings or a shift **** I went with Ark.

Height and throw were reduced significantly and quality seems top notch. I'm pretty happy with my purchase.
