Default Shift knobs- personal preference?

I know the search function leads to all kinds of shift knob threads. I'm just curious to see what shift knobs people are running locally.

I've tried both the stock AP1 and AP2 knobs.

I've also tried the Blox Limited 6 speed and am currently using a T1R Ti Bmax ball shift knob.

My favourite so far is the stock AP1 knob. It has nice leverage from first to second gear and fits nicely in the palm for second to third gear shifts. It's not too heavy or light.


So the questions are, What are you using now? What have you used in the past? What is your favourite and why?

Design wise i like stock ap1. Classic plain and simple yet straightforward. Performance wise. It's too heavy and high. That is just my opinion of course vs. My current shift knob which is from a Lexus.

Custom fitted on but weights significanly less and sits lower. Big difference b/w the 2. Now only if it came with the red letterings lol

That's all I've tried. I don't see any reaso to get into it too much more.

At this moment, I am actually using a Alex Eggo Titanium Shiftknob, I like the feel, but find it's a little too lite!

I am using Voodoo Magnum aluminum. It's bigger than all other shift knobs I've used.
Great if you have big hands. It's countersunk so shifts are shorter.
I find it makes my shifts more precise. The finish on it is A+.
Would definitely buy again.

If you want a really heavy one, check out the Moddiction Anvil Stainless Steel knobs. I haven't tried this one yet. Any one here have it?
