Thoughts on Razo RA96 vs TurnInConcepts Piston Knob.

[Flypinoy457]

So my birthday is just around the corner and my little brother (19 years old, on a college budget) is asking what I want. I recently bought the Racingline STS for my A/C and upgraded to Redline fluid, so why not complete it with a weighted shift knob. So it seems like everyone and their brother went out and bought the Razo RA96 340g shift knob, which i think is nice but I was thinking of trying something alittle different. Just wondering what your guy's thoughts on this shift knob:

**assuming that this will fit our car, according to mcheddadi write up

I think the design is alittle cleaner, BUT it actually weighs quite a bit less (105 g) which I know decreases the feel of the knob shifting through gears. So I guess my question is Design vs Performance, what should I go with.

I just voted for the RA96. I just installed mine yesterday and I must say it made a noticeable improvement. The 105g is actually less than the stock knob (weighed mine in at 178g). I was surprised how much of a difference the extra weight made. Not only that, I think the Razo looks better (but that's just my opinion). I would definitely go with the added weight. I can't wait to install my STS, as I'm sure the shifting feel will make it like a whole new car.

And I got mine from gotitems.com - cost roughly $52 after shipping I think, which makes it cheaper than the other option you pointed out here.

yes, definitely get the Razo. It is very nice.

Most people would not recommend switching to a knob that weighed less, especially after having the STS...

quite frankly, that piston knob just doesn't look very comfortable. the razo looks pretty similar to the stock knob other than a bit more flash. and it feels about the same as stock in your hand except for the finger grooves on the razo.

that thing doesnt look like it would fit bc if you look at it its to tall i tried one very similar to it and it didnt work so yea
