Like the title says, I just recently let go of my 07 Civic Si sedan and got a 2017 ST. I've been waiting over a year for the right moment to get an ST and after hearing that my AC on my civic was out and costs me $1500+ to repair I couldn't wait any longer. I love the ST a lot and can't wait to play with it. I already know what the first thing I wasn't to upgrade and want to hear suggestions if you have any. The shifter on the ST is either in a higher position or longer than the civic. I want to shorten it, what product do y'all recommend?

Welcome aboard.

Pretty much any question you have, is just a search away. We have a site specific google search bar at the bottom center, and next to the crappy regular site search. It's the way to go.

@mheezy Welcome to the forum!

Welcome. I also just sold my civic and bought a FoST. Of course civic was a 94 with no ac and power steering but was turboed. I wanted a fast and comfortable car and that why i got the FoST.

The shifter throw in the focus is really long especially if you were use to a short throw shifter in a civic. The shift arm is easy to install right on to the arm on the trans and will shorten it up. You can also get a shifter for inside the car along with solid shifter bushings. All of those are on my list.

Focus RS & ST short Shift Arm [FST-SSA] - $89.95 : James Barone Racing, Aftermarket Performance

highly recommend the Ford Performance Short Shift... and the Mountune shift arm (yes both together). worth the extra cost and I wish I would have done it as my first mod. honestly has made the biggest difference in the cars overall drive-ability. Not having to row a boat to get from gear to gear is amazing!

The Honda SI will likely always have a better shift feel.. My honda shifted so good and had thousands and thousands of miles on it

Had an 06 FG2 and not only was that car a blast for my first manual but I've never driven another car with a better shift feel.

Glad you could join us. I installed the Steeda short thro on my 2013 ST3. I chose it b/c it has 3 levels of adjustment. I would also recommend a rear stabilizer bar...EZ replacement.....good luck.....like the previous posters mentioned click on a shifter thread for more info....
