They were pretty good, but they are RHD so angled to the right. Some LHDers installed them backwards so they angle better. Not sure how well it worked out.

C's went out of business in a big way so these are all runout stock.

i have the c's short shifter sold under the distinto belleza's name and it def made an improvement in shift travel...(for people with the counter sunk knobs..you guys just just dont under stand !!! ) about installing it backward?? no.. you can only install it one way to make it shift properly....the price though are just too rediculous (bought mine for $400), thats why most people just go with the counter sunk knobs instead...
as far as the shifter leaning towards the right??? i got used to it after the first week or so ... its just when you go to put the gear in reverse or 6th, it comes very close to the e-brake handle..

Everything for the S2000 is ludicrously expensive. I bought one of these for my Nissan 240SX years ago for $150 (group buy price). Nice shifter. Quality piece.

Has anyone every phoned up B&M and asked them to make one for our car? I have one of their shifters in my 240SX, and that thing is incredible. I think all B&M wants is someone local to help supply a car to fit the shifter.
