Default How much shorter shift boot?

I ordered a hurst short shifter and want a shorter shift boot so that it won't be all saggy looking. When I went to order one from Redline it asked me how many inches shorter I want it?

I put the Hurst in mine and was going to order another boot but when I put it all back together the stock boot was just fine - not saggy at all.

Go to www.vetteessentials.com. They make shorter shift boots at the right length, in any color combo you can imagine. You can see them on their website. I have one made to order with my Hurst shifter. It looks great.
