I just installed a B&M ripper in my Z last night and I knew the stock one was sloppy, but OMG...what a difference!

The only thing I didn't like about it was the non-descriptive instructions that came with it. It still wasn't hard to put in though.

I read a bunch between the two and I believe it just comes down to personal opinon. They both are really close to each other.

All I know is...Click 1-2, click 2-3 really fast, compaired to the stock one!
