Does anyone have the NEW customenterprise STS?
Does anyone have this yet? http://www.custommaxima.com/STS9501.php
Is this a completely new design or is it a pacesetter copy?
It would be sweet if it was a stillen knockoff

Looks like the SMC I bought from them awhile ago, but different box, so I'd say SMC/Pacesetter knockoff.
I just switched to a Stillen STS from the SMC and the Stillen is definitely taller by about an inch or so, other then that bad part, it's much smoother/less notchy IMO. It also returns to center, unlike the SMC STS I had. At least at the height I had it.
If you get that STS, I'd drill/divit the rod where the *****' set screw stops and locktite it or it can slip on you and you'll have to uninstall/reinstall. Although, I haven't heard anyone else complain, so most likely it was just a bad install on my part.
I'd probably give the B&M a shot, if you're set on not paying for the Stillen.

Parts and design looks just like my Pacesetter. The one thing that I like about the PS is the fact that the shifter is silver and not black. Can't go wrong here for that price though.
BTW, I always thought that the Stillen was made by B&M??

No, B&M is a different design I'm pretty sure.
I'd get the B&M if that's closer to what you're willing to pay. Honestly, this is one part that IMO, design/quality make or break the deal. A poor STS really makes your driving experience/downshifting suck a$$. Something you'll kick yourself for everytime you miss a shift. I'm not saying the Stillen is perfect by any means, but DEFINITELY smoother/less notchy then my SMC.
You can try the SMC/Pacesetter STS, but now that I've had both, no comparison and I'd save the money and just get the Stillen or B&M first.
