the plastic one or the aluminum one? I have the aluminum one, it is countersunk, weighs about 30 grams according to a quick google search. I don't have mine installed, but it wouldn't go into my S2K. I'd want something heavier and bigger

i have the black one you talking about. it is very very light and a bit smaller than the picture, i never weighted it but it is much lighter than cr knob, which was the lightest knob i had. it is countersunk if you do not use the locking nut, but since the knob is really light weight the shifting became very weird to me. with the locking nut it sets higher than oem knob, and you have the lever action to make up the light weight, the shifting actually was quiet nice. overall the shifting just feels really "raw", you feel a lot more gear engaging and vibration. you believe or not, beside the J's it is my favorite, i like it more than many weighted knobs.

no problem, or you can take look on skunk2 knob, the 450+grams gunmetal color one, it is not countersunk, but for 45 bucks i will say it better than razo knobs. the problem with razo knobs is they use a plastic insert, which i am not sure how long it will hold up.

I've had the same Razo Ra42 shift knob for 6 years on 3 different cars(used the same plastic insert) and have had no issues.
