I ordered mine last week with a 2" drop. I don't have it in yet so I don't have any pics yet, but I'll post some when I do. Which shifter did you buy?

I went with a 2" and I think it would be too short if I had gone with a 3" reduction.

Did you get the riser bushings? And if so did that have any effect, height-wise?

3" will be too short, making the throw difficult unless you get a weighted shift ****.

Riser bushings usually do not affect the height, just the feel of the throw; stiffens it up a little.

I also went with 1.5 and got the risers and they do make your shifter a lil bit higher but 1.5 is perfect for me

Ya I do have the riser bushing but the height reduction is cumulative so even with the bushings it is still a 2" reduction.

I went with 1.5" drop...perfect. Don't go any lower. You'll lose all mechanical leverage and it will be so much harder to shift than it currently stands.

I ordered mine with a 2" reduction before people starting saying 'no' to that, but I got an email saying it was shipped today so I guess I'll have to live with it if I don't like it, but I can't imagine that I won't absolutely love it!
