Why do you need a heavier shift knob? I have a sti duracon (lighter) and the precision is a bit better.

This is pretty close in appearance https://www.raceseng.com/sphereology...mm-shifter-arm
Some people prefer heavy shift knobs, some don't; you'll have to try it out yourself. I have a different Raceseng knob and like it. |

Heavy for me.
Less force on my part to get into gear. As for precision. I shift with my fingertips. (Thumb/Index/Middle) Much like my miata. With the normal knob I have to palm. The miata is opposite. |

Race car mods don't always translate to road car mods.

Don't trust the internet too much. Better to find a reputable manufacturer and stick with him. STI has some good factory options. You can check the differences below. One focuses on the operational feel and the other on a reliable response.

Meh. Race cars also use solid engine mounts, solid bushings, straight cut gears, etc... just because it's good for a race car, doesn't mean it makes sense in a road car. I subscribe to the concept of buying the absolute best parts possible, but those can be different things depending on the use case.
