I hear people say B&M makes the 997SSK and having them next to each other, yeah, they are really similar.

However, driving them both within an hour it's really obvious that the 997SSK is superior to drive. The all metal bushings in the B&M are just too harsh.

I agree with the fellow Henry 100%. B&m is nice but the 997 SSK is just a step nicer in overall feel.

There is also the 997GT shifter that has alloy bushings instead of plastic.

A quick note:

The 996 SSK is similar or the same as the B&M kit.

The 997 SSK has a unqiue gear mechanism, it is not the same as a B&M kit. We only offer this kit, this one has a fool-proof installation too!
