They are not that hard to install. The only thing that will suck is adjusting the cables, but that is not even that hard it just takes some time.

Takes about 1 hour IMO the B&M shifts smoother, but the Hurst looks better...

I really dont notice much of a difference between the hurst and the stock shifter. Unless i'm just not remembering right.

i notice a difference in my hurst... its all about the cables and leverage.... physics tells you that there is a difference due to the actual shape of the shaft. plus i like the fact that the shifter is closer and "lower" to my seating position
