How much are you looking to spend.

There are a few

C's - Expensive and getting scarce to find, RHDjapan.com does have them but IIRC $300+ dollars
NashMan
BeechPerformance

.... these are the only 3 that pop into mind atm. DO NOT DO THE SOGI mod. Drove a car with it, IMO it is SHIT i rather keep my super long stock shifter that feels good with new bushings vs sogi mod.

I did the SOGI mod like 5 years ago and I am used to it, just make sure you replace the bushing while you have the shifter out. As stated before it only lowers the height and does not shorten the throw.

It's Not Important Bro
If you want to stay JDM, do the C's.
For quality and the absolutely coolest design on planet earth, to the Nash. It is in the group buy section.
Cant speak for the Beech but I do have some of his other stuff and it's top shelf too.
My 2 cents

I had a C's shifter and I can tell you it was worth every penny. Height was stock but the throws were short and perfect, no slop and was not knotchy what so ever.

I just installed a C's shifter recently. If I could go back in time, it would've been the second part that I bought for the Supra.

I'm using the S3 V2 shifter available from Raptor Racing. Here are some specs:

The S3 Short Shifter is for both W58 and R154 Toyota transmissions and features:

o 36% reduction in shift throw
o Threaded for Toyota shift knob
o Premium materials used and high quality finish
o Fully assembled, bolt in installation
o Manufactured and assembled in the USA

This shifter is designed by a Supra owner using premium materials:
o The shift rod is 304 stainless
o Upper shift housing is 303 stainless
o Lower housing is T6061-T6 Aluminum
o Insulation is a special polyurethane to reduce sound and vibration
o All precision machined parts are US sourced materials. Only two parts are imported.

I am very pleased with this mod. No sloppy shifting.

I figured it would be the JZ ;)

I only spent $190 for my C's shifter a few months ago...for me, it has been the best bang for the buck purchase. (A few years ago, I had the chance to buy a C's shifter for $200)

I only drove my car for about an hour with the stock shifter, so it's harder for me to remember the difference (three years ago).. but others have driven my car and commented on how short and precise the shifts are.

I did the sogi mod awhile back as well...and I Hated it. Good to have a parts car to wreck stuff/gain experience on that doesnt matter too much
Keep it stock or, as mensioned, go with one of the three shifters listed.
