Default Long legs and stock shifter = frustration

OK so I just picked up a 99 Si and the single bend is driving me nuts and is uncomfortable (plus I have a shoulder problem). Anyone know where I can get a good dual bend shifter thats not too expensive? I'm going to get a name brand (Skunk, B&M, etc) but I don't know where to get one from. Any help would be great.

I really like my Buddy Club dual bend. It's made for B-series shift linkage, so you'll have no problem fitting it. It costs about $100, but to me it was well worth it.

You'd hate driving a 5spd mustang then

For a dual-bend, you could go with a cheap eBay shifter, but you'll always run the risk of it breaking (I've seen it happen several times). If you want a reputable one, check out ProCivic, Password:JDM, or Summit Racing.
