There is no need to spend ~$100 on the BWR shifter. It is likely exactly the same as the Megan one but Megan is 75% cheaper.. I know for sure there is nothing more special about the BWR shifter that reflects its higher price. They are simply charging more because they can. BWR is a fairly new company and they have not proved anything... A lot of their parts are subpar and knockoffs of others.

Hell I have a B&M shifter that I got from my sponsor. B&M has been making real good quality shiftes for years and is a well established company. The shifter I have is very beefy and strong, I'd likely break some other part in my trans before the shifter. But, retail is only like ~$60. Cheaper than BWR but I'm confident it's much better. So again, why spend more on BWR when youre getting the same or less out of quality. Had I not gotten a good deal from my sponsor for this B&M shifter, I probably would have gotten some cheap steel shifter from a company like Megan. Simply because it's cheap, it's strong enough, and it'd work.

The Megan racing seems to be made of really beefy steel. I don't think I'd ever be able to brake it driving. Lol
