ive owned lots of knobs and tried them over the years on many different cars, but i keep coming back to type-r and desert eagle style knobs for ergonomics. if youre getting the type-r style knob for your z, definitely get the big type-r knob.





it has to do with the flat top and taper/radius where it meets the side of the knob. that angle is critical for shifts into 2nd gear.
Type R imho is one of the best shift knobs, if not the best looking on the market. saving some cash for this baby

i have both the regular type-r and big type-r from twm. both are excellent choices, but the big type-r is definitely the preferred choice especially on the Z.
