Zomgz!! Parking brake adjustment immediately!! If the button on the parking brake stands higher than the top of your shifter, it's time to take the back wheels off.

What have you got, like 15-16 clicks? Wooooweeee.

Yeah I know, was like that the first day I got it... my friends and I joke about it because it is like 30 clicks (maybe not that much but you get the point)

I thought the adjustment was at the parking brake lever itself?? And you don't adjust the parking breaks individually, you adjust them together at the equalizer or like I stated... at least all the cars I have seen has been that way... hmmm

other than the parking break being amazingly out of adjustment, how's the rest look

Shifter looks great!

The adjustment for the parkign brake should be made at the brake itself, and takes less than 10 minutes, 8 minutes of which is taking the tires off and putting them back on. Then you can have a nice 6 clicks to full stop.

thanks! I adjusted the parking brake at the handle itself... I know you said thats not how you do it but thats how I have done every car before because you are never SUPPOSE to adjust the parking brake at each wheel individually but rather together, either at the equalizer or the handle itself.

This may confuse you or you may question it but trust me I know it is a correct way of adjusting the parking brake... now I have about 6-7 clicks, sound better?

Put some duct tape over that bad boy unless you're a vascular surgeon. It's tough to get things out of that hole. Very nice product doc!
lol I know how you feel....I did my install this afternoon and cut my finger really deep twice, there is a part under the cage that is just really sharp.

For me, it's the lip of plastic on the center console, directly above the shifter cage. It's shaving-razor sharp. I have scars on the backs of both hands from that edge peeling back the top few layers of skin on my hands.

Doc's blood is integrated into many shifters. Literally.

Whew, glad I'm not the only one shaving skin off. I just thought it was my car reminding me that I don't do car work professionally.

I'm confused. So, I'm a 5'8" guy and I got the Premium and so, does that mean a 1.5" drop total?
