Got some MTEC Industries "Sport" shift springs for my Si. It really tightened up the left-right play in the shifter and made it a lot more precise. No more shifting into the wrong gear because the stock shifter is so loose. I didn't get the race springs because I didn't want to make the shifter uncomfortable and I wasn't going to take the chance on that.
That being said, the installation was kind of a pain. The allen bolt on the transmission is extremely tight and there isn't much room to work with. To top it all off, the shifter mechanism fell apart when I took everything apart. It was difficult, but I got it put back together and was able to finally reinstall the parts. At $39.xx after shipping, I really recommend this upgrade. Reminds me a lot of the effect you get from replacing the shift linkage bushings on older Civics with Energy Suspension polyurethane, but possibly even better.
