I think I looked at those, it's weighted and cost close to $200 right? can't recall the brand.

Yessir it's from Raceseng

Just needed some free time to install.
2020 ctr shifter assembly

Im strongly considering this upgrade (minus the short shift adapter). Seeing shift knob is also a topic in this thread, I’m currently using the acuity poco knob, is anyone using the ctr shifter assy with a poco? Thoughts?

Not using the Poco shift knob, rather the 27won. Hasn't burned my hand all summer!

I first tried the Acuity Stage 1 parts on the original shifter, then changed over to the CTR shifter with the Acuity spring, bushings and rocker. Both were good but the CTR/Acuity combo is the best. It feels like it always wants to just go into the right gear, no fuss. I'm planning to do the cable bushings soon.

I switched back to the stock CTR shifter in my Type R from the Hybrid Racing full shifter. Did the stage 2 kit, the Cable Bushings and the Poco. It felt phenomenal. Completely blew the $450 shifter out of the water. I changed the Poco out for the Esco for the added hight and I personally like the shape better. But the Poco still felt great. Another huge consideration that most people miss is the weight of the knob. The Esco is 183 Grams I believe which is a little too light for my liking but before that I had tried a Raceseng slammer which is like 455 grams. It was way way too heavy. My personal preference is between like 250G's to 300 but everyone is different. Just don't forget about how important the weight of the knob can be.

I keep going back and forth if I want to do CTR + acuity upgrades, or full activity assembly…. More I think about it, and how much hassle it’ll be to play with/adjust the full acuity, I think I’m just gonna do CTR + activity upgrades. Would irk me knowing I can adjust something, but I’d have to take it all apart to do so

So in summation, does everyone still feel the 20 CTR with Acuity setup is the best shifter setup for the Si?

TBC… I can’t use the short throw with this setup? Correct?

correct afaik the 2020 fk8 shifter is not compatible with the acuity short throw adapter.
i have the acuity fk8 upgrade setup on my '20 Si and i love it.
iirc if you put the short throw adapter on the fk8 shifter assembly it can mess up your shifter cables.

I can buy the 20 CTR shifter frame and plug all my Acuity goodies on it, minus the short throw adapter, and it’s pretty much that simple. Right?

Just installed ‘20 type R assembly with Acuity spring and base bushings. Didn’t do the rocker upgrade as I didn’t feel a 5% reduction in gate width was worth it. Loving it so far, gears are slightly shorter and feeling is tight and precise. Nice mod for around $120 bucks shipped.

Just ordered both instead of just buying the full acuity shifter kit specific for the Si, wondering if any of you have tried out both and want to know your thoughts on them.

Saved about $275 going the Type R assembly route and I know it's already 25% ish shorter throws, curious if that extra $275 is worth it for some minimal differences

I have the 2020 with just base bushings, going full Acuity shifter soon. The stock to CTR shifter with base bushings is a great improvement but not quite where I want to be, I’d imagine the rest is worth it if you don’t care about the adjustability.
