Which one would you guys choose as the best short throw for a 225Q? I am looking at the sigma shift kit from dieselgeek right now. Any recommendations for this one or another brand?

The Sigma6 for sure. That's my next planned mod.

Off topic.... Do you like your modstack vtda?

Yeah, I like it a lot. It's not 2 loud, and the tubes that run to the front feeds make it (IMO) better than others.

wont a 6sp short shifter work on a 5sp car? just wondering, i might get one

^no. I don't think you can.

^^ They have a 5-speed version of the sigma, just check the website.
I have it in my 225, and I love it. it feels so much more solid. shifts are nice and crisp, and the 'mushiness' is gone. i love it. Installation took about 40 mins and was a breeze. have a buddy to help you out though, that makes it a lot easier.

I'd get the B&M shifter because it keeps the reverse lock out feature.
