Default Spoon or J's/T1R

I have had the Spoon Ti Shift knob for a few years, and no complaints. Lately I have been thinking that a smaller Ball style like J's would feel better. Anyone here tried both. It's just a shift knob....Kinda dumb. Thought I'd ask.

I used the spoon one but I thought it was too light, and it let me feel more of the notchiness of the shift linkage. I switched up to the ARC (similiar to the J's/T1R) and I love it it is the last shift knob I will ever own.

Its not super light but the weight of it makes the shifts feel very precise and smooth

i have the T1R Bmax 182 or whatevever (ball shaped) and i love it. shifting feels much better and much shorter than stock.

i want to try the J's knob too though but not after i found out how much it costs lol

T1R is weighted. J's is a bigger ball knob than ARC or T1R. Spoon is like stock and is uber light.

Ive had the Spoon, Alex, J's Racing, and oem Titanium. I like the Titanum J's knob best out of those.

My new, and FAVORITE knob.... FD2 CTR aluminum knob. Best shape weight, and feel IMO. Looks at home too in the car. price is better too ($70) Been selling a butt ton of them lately!

I like the CTR knob too but it sits higher than stock so I took it off the second after I had it on

If I get the CSX, I will consider that too
