Anyone tried this eBay B&M knockoff STS?
Ive got a Topspeed in my B13, looks like the one pictured, and have installed a genuine B&M in the past. The knock off, at least mine, rattles like no ones business. Its loose and there is no way to tighten where its loose. They both went in the same and felt the same. The knock off is of cheaper quality no doubt, perhaps a better value than the real thing. IMO the B&M design is crap in every aspect; from installation & fitment, to feel & ergonomics. Id rather buy the regular OEM style sts and reuse the stock pivot bearing design.
The SMX knock off by Pacesetter in my A32 is the best sts Ive ever used. Too bad they dont make them anymore.

what does the smx look like? Like the stillen one?
working on one actually, with Stillen in mind (they made by far the best feeling and highest quality short shifter)
If there is interest I can start a GB thread and make sure this gets done
