Is the megan racing short shifter any good?

I have no idea what the hell you are talking about. Do you know what the adjuster screw is? If not, do you plan on researching on what it does? Or will you buy the piece of **** Blackworks Racing trash for an extra $60 or whatever because it has an "adjuster screw"?
I hate blackworks. They are direct competition in the cooling department with the company I work for. Look at their products, and look at ours, similar, huh? We have been around a little longer to my knowledge as well. Funny how all the problems we had before re-designing units (not saying we are perfect, no one is), they are now having (in addition to a slew of other knock off companies). /rant
EDIT - checked their site, and eBay. Still can't find the adjusting screw you are referring to. Post a link up.

There is no "adjustment screw" for the BWR shifter. After all, there's nothing TO adjust in the shifters for our Civics.
Here's a BWR single bend. I def. don't see anything to adjust. Looks like every other shifter out there but it costs 2-3x as much..
Here's a Megan shifter. Looks exactly the same right? Minus the finish obviously.
And don't get focused on the difference between claims of 30% or 40% shorter throws. The difference would hardly be noticeable(if there really is one..) and that difference is insignificant. It's not like you're going to even be a hundredth of a second faster in a 1/4mile.. The important thing is that it's shorter than stock. It's mainly for feel, there's not a massive performance gain.
But, it's your money. Waste it if you please. I just wouldn't be so quick to ignore the advice from those who have experienced this stuff..

I'm sure you could find a Megan one on eBay for dirt cheap and ready to ship. Or on a number of other legit sites.
Here ya go, B&M dual bend(which some people like better) for $60 shipped. I'm sure the quality and finish is atleast the same, but most likely better, than the BWR shifter. Not to mention cheaper for a dual bend than the BWR single bend..
