 In today's Cobb highlight, we introduce the FK8 Civic Type-R short and tall weighted Cobb shift knobs. The Civic Type-R is notorious for having one of the best functioning and most satisfying manual transmissions available on a modern car, but that doesn't mean it can't get even better. Both versions of the weighted Cobb knob for the FK8 will improve your shifting experience in a handful of ways. Starting with a noticeable increase in heft. Thanks to the custom machine stainless steel core, the short weighted Cobb knob tips the scales at 264 grams, which is a bump of 85 grams over the factory knob. That's more than a 40% increase, and the tall weighted Cobb knob adds even more mass at 332 grams. That's not far from double the original weight. With either option, you'll feel an instant improvement in those bolt action style shifts when driving at the limit, but they also make casual shifts in traffic even more effortless. Yet, as fun as shifting your own gears can be, sometimes it can feel like playing a game of hot potato. Luckily, the steel core of the Cobb knob lives inside of a perfectly machined house of Delrin. Delrin is smooth to the touch, but most importantly, has mild reactions to extreme temperatures. So whether it's a hot summer day or a freezing winter morning, you don't have to torture yourself every time you drive your car. The other more obvious difference is the shape of the weighted Cobb knobs. If you love the spherical design of the factory shift knob, then the short weighted Cobb knob offers the same comfortable feel with all the functional upgrades that I just mentioned. But if extra size is what you crave, the tall weighted Cobb knob adds height with an extended taper design that's ideal for larger hands, or simply for a different feel compared to stock. Lastly, what fun are modifications if they don't add style? The Cobb knob comes in the choice of white or black Delrin, and a pair of red and black anodized aluminum trim rings with the Cobb logo etched on the side are included with either knob choice. The trim rings use a provided O-ring to sit securely on the bottom, while allowing you to easily swap them in a matter of seconds to suit your mood. The excellent manual transmission is one of the most fun parts of owning a type of. So upgrading the shift knob is one of the easiest, cheapest and most enjoyable mods that you can make at any point in the car's life.
