Just got my paddle shift of andy at AB performance , got to say a pleasure to deal with and its great to talk to a guy thats actually interested in his customers and work...also what a quality piece of kit ....and super fast delivery I has it in 4 days to Ireland ....

Highly recommended..

He will be getting more of my money...

stunning they are a dream to fit and use as well

& heres one i made earlier on me megablade, i've dealt with Andy & he knows everything about BECs, in fact waste of time posting any questions on here when you've got him about, the sump bracket & push/ pull cable i got from him works a dream & why production cars are still using gear levers beats me!!

Ill be honest, i have the same setup on my car and i love it, but for a push pull cable and a Pair of Paddles £280 i think i paid is expensive.

Definetly prefer paddles over a stick.

Does need a firm pull when going from 1st to 2nd.

CEC boys can drive one handed too Andy :-)

i think you'll find my previous post was singing the praises of NOT having to drive one handed anymore, not good practice to change gear with stick one handed going round corners, also when the backend is trying to step out under fierce acceleration its so nice to know u have total control especially on hillclimbs when trying to get past the 64ft mark

You need to tell this to all the CEC drivers doing autotesting

Anyone here using paddles find they need a hard yet firm pull to get from 1st to 2nd?

Must admit the thought of fumbling so close to the steering wheel kinda put me off going paddle shift with a cable system tbh

plus i like power sliding one handed yeeeehaaa

I would expect that to be the norm - certainly is when riding a bike...
