Default Shortening the throw of the shifter?

Hi all,

what's the "popular" modification to shorten the throw of the shifter? Are short shifters easy to be had and installed? Or are most people just shortening the gear lever?

I did a search and discovered that a lot of owners will purchase a "sunk?" shift knob? What are popular shift knobs that will allow me to screw it in deeper, thus lowering the height of the shift knob?

Rick's knob FTW. Shortens the throws just enough and fits good in the hand.

The option to custom engrave is pretty cool too.
