Default which knob do you like better

i got both idk which one i like better.. the Alex is hallow and light but the ARC is nice and heavy

also.. u can use these pics to compare each.. as when i wanted a ti knob i couldnt find comparison pics







riley

FYI

Alex ti= taller, counter sunk, hollow around 26grams
ARC ti=round, solid, deep sunk but i wouldnt say its counter sunk cause threads start at base, id say at least 120+ grams

I've had both and personally I like the Alex one better because I like the pistol grip. If you're comparing the texture of the knob, the ARC felt nice and silky while the Alex felt smooth and plasticky.

yeah i agree w/ plastic feeling.. im thinking the "weight" of the ARC will make the shifts nicer.

I went from an ARC to a Skunk2 shiftknob. The ARC looks much better but the weight wasn't there - can't even imagine how you could use anything lighter. The Skunk2 doesn't look as good to me, but feels much better on the track and daily driving so it's staying in.

ARC looks better in the pics, but i personally do not like ball shift knobs.
