    Heavier knobs are not the greatest of items. Check out most racecars and look at their shifters. Many of them are very similar to what I am offering :)

      I know there's a balance in between excessively heavy and overly light. I was just mentioning that I personally like knobs that have some weight in them as opposed to using all of my effort to get into gear.

        The effort is equal to a huge weighted knob. You have moved the point of which effort is applied. Picture a teeter totter and if you change the length on 1 side you can lift more weight(or less) :) It is simply physics.

                  By the way, my free lever never arrived! Must have been a problem at the post office I would guess.

                      For some crazy reason his test 7" didn't fit. It is on its way back for me to test fit on My z4 lever(how his z4 lever is different I have no idea?!?!?!?!?!) and I know I test fit the 10" lever. I could take some pics for you?
