    DSSR is silly if you've still got vague steering and/or clunky balljoints.

    realistically, youre going to need to replace the CSB and guibo because most non-enthusiast cars never have them done as long as the car is still driving. i agree with replacing the soft fuel lines...it's cheap and a major safety item. i've seen two cars burn the past year. you'll likely be chasing vacuum leaks too, torn intake boot, old gaskets etc. TRANS FLUID. 5 of the 7 cars i've changed the fluid on this summer had little or no fluid left. just do it. replace at least the selector shaft seal while you're doing the DS stuff too.

      From a guy who bought the SSK with the DSSR, I'd say go elsewhere. I had a hell of a time trying to get anyone from UUC to return my calls, much less shipped it to me. I received the wrong items twice, and finally got it sorted only 3 months after I'd paid them.

      Personally I'd check out the AKG short shifter, or go for the Z3 1.9 or other short shifter with the DSSR if possible/necessary.

      In all fairness though, if you're stuck with UUC, their shifter (once you've got the right parts) feels very good.

          Go with AKG if anything! They are quick to answer phone calls, etc. Product is great. But I would def not spend money on something like that before all the seals bushings, hoses, etc. And most certainly change the trans mounts, selector shaft seal, output shaft seal, fluid, etc. while messing with the shifter

                $7000 on fuhraze go fast parts and shiny things is REALLY crazy when the car is just sitting in the driveway waiting for a fuel line.

                          Make sure you go ahead and get a bushing/linkage rebuild kit for your shifter while you're at it. The short shifter kit doesn't include this and you could still have some serious slop with just shorter shifts

                            +1, but for different reasons. I still have the DSSR, but I ditched the shift lever (though I still need to sell it). It's needlessly over-engineered, and overly complicated to install. Hated the feel of it. Huge waste of $300+ IMO. Right now, I have the stock lever in with the DSSR and a ZHP shift knob, and I love it. The throw could be a little shorter though, so the Z3 1.9 lever mentioned would be just about perfect. I plan on installing one later.
