anyone here have a carbon fiber trunk and use after market hydraulics to hold up the trunk? If so what type are they? and what pressure is it? i know that the stock hydraulics are too much for the carbon fiber trunk being that it is a little bit lighter and somewhat flexible. Any info would be much appreciated.

thanks

 

I may need the same info. Mine is being installed right now...

 

watchin

i got low psi shocks from motorfx that are napa turbolift 819-5590 struts... good luck

 

so those struts are just from napa? or motorfx does something to them?

 

i dunno they just came like that... u can ask em.

 

Im pretty sure u can order the exact part from NAPA

 

searched for everything that had to do with "motorfx that are napa turbolift 819-5590 struts" and couldnt find anything... any idea where i can order these online or in store?

 

I found this... Don't know if it's the right one or not???

thanks

 

update? any luck with the napa ones? i hate my cf hatch w/out shocks

 

i just bought the shocks from napa, they only had 1 in stock and the second should be there 2mmorrow morning. by the looks of it the shock is thinner then the stock ones so it should work.


updates and pics will be up 2mmorrow

 

lol @ hydraulics

 

lol

they are GAS SHOCKS

 

yeah.. if they were hydraulic.. well..
they wouldn't compress...

you wouldn't be able to close your hatch..... heheh.... dorks.

yes, yes... GAS shocks.

 

well... they could compress if you had a hydraulic pump with a oil tank ;)

hydraulic hatch ftw?

/goes to presentation on hydraulics for john deere *NOT JOKING*

don't worry you'll sell it the week after
