    So I'm looking to swap my column shift and wacky ratcheting hand brake to a more conventional and stylish floor mount shifter & hand brake. Does anyone recommend one in particular? I looked at lokar and kind of liked theirs but I'm thinking I need bucket seats first

    I've got a 5spd and a bench seat. I don't see much space for a handbrake in the mix.

    I used the lokar unit but have buckets, I'd recommend thir unit if you go to buckets. Easy and clean install.
