Hey everyone, I'm looking to purchase the FD2 Shiftknob from the 8thgen Type R. My only question is, would be stock 2012 Si shift boot sag down if I use the FD2 shift knob?

if you use the stock nut/boot retainer there should be no sag.

So basically, I won't have to purchase anything else besides the shift knob? Everything should work as long as I simply take off my stock Si Knob and put on the FD2 one?

For those of you who have seen my posts in this thread, stay away from redlinegoods. I never received my new boot after sending my oem boot to them to use as a template. I think this guy is trying to skirt customs requirements. I don't care if I never get the boot, if that's the case.

You wouldn't be the first person I heard of that had a bad experience dealing with them. My best friend's been going round and round with them for a while, and the previous owner of my car had many many many headaches trying to get his boot (which was supposed to be a freebie, but he ended up having to pay for it). It's a really nice shift boot though. I'm glad he finally got it.
Bad customer service is definitely a HUGE no-no for me.

^^^ Today I got out the tap and die set, and using the 10mm x 1.5 ran new threads about an inch further down on the oem shifter. The Delrin knob I use (its the black and red-striped one in this thread) is drilled almost completely through, so it took up the new threads just great. The shifter is now an inch shorter, without cutting it. To give you an idea, the oem retainer ring is now bottomed out where the shifter thickens at the base. I've never used a tap and die set before, and just used 3in1 oil to keep things moving. I removed nothing but he shifter ball and retainer ring.
I put a paper towel aroung the base to protect the boot and taped it up so no oil would get through. Took ten minutes, with the shifter in reverse to give clearance away from the em brake handle. Will post pix soon.
