Re: Kirban or Ripper ? (jeffsherman)
I believe the Ripper is the shortest of the two. Also if you recall your physics class, the shorter the throw the more effort required.
I like the ripper but some folks have complained it's too stiff. A friend of mine has the Kirban and he likes his as well. They are both very precise and a world of difference from the stocker......
Good luck! ;)

Ripper.
It's more aggressive than the Kirban, but CERTAINLY not a problem, at all. Get the ripper. I've owned many C5's with Kirban's, Ripper, Stock-cut shifters... Ripper, time and again, proves itself!

Consider the new Hurst shifter... Here is someone's impression of the installed unit.

This is a fine Padron 1964 Anniversary if you’re wondering…

$175 Cash, no tax, no shipping ---- NO WAITING. BTW I do buy a lot from the forum mall and supporting vendors. But I needed it now... I need help :crazy:

I have the Kirban and am very happy with it. I have had several friends recently install Rippers and they are very pleased with them. Either way you can't go wrong.
