Yes, I searched!!

I need to know what shocks you guys are using for your c/f hatches? Mine just got installed w/out the shocks b/c they are just too much for the lightweight hatch. Couldnt even close the hatch with them on and also they shoot the hatch up soo fast if you dont watch out you'll take a hard shot to the face!! Help me out guys, I need an alternative cuz I sure aint using a stick to hold it open lol!!

 

just use one...

 

damn i didnt know that the cf hatches had those problems, nobody knows what shocks would be good so u could use 2?

 

i think tien makes a set..or redline..but i think im wrong..but those names popped into my head for some reason

 

nah I'm looking for a different alternative then that. trust me, we considered it, but that just throws everything off.

i need something asap tho, trunk moves around alot without the shocks on plus it just sucks not having them!

 

really light weight! :D

 

put on a wing?

 

c/f hatch owners please speak up!!

oh and no wing for now hehe

 

Watching...

 

U would think someone had solved this by now

BTW where did u get ur hatch?

 

from bBist.com

 

does motor-fx make a set? i thought i read that somewhere, but their site does not work?

 

this sucks i need a functional trunk

 

Maybe you could try going to the junkyard and looking for an older car with similar but weaker struts?

 

i swear i just posted it up like a day ago lol.. well from what i heard only the motor-fx ones are available but i haven't personally tried them so i i'm unusre if it will work properly otherwise do what i did, use a piece of wood to hold it up lol.. yeah i kno its ghetto but it worked lol...

 

and yes i tried the struts at autozone and pepboys and none of them worked.

 

Call up redline, or contact them. They can soften the strut so that its not so powerful, they did that for my hood strut.

 

whats motor-fx's #? i cant find it and their website doesnt work.

equinox, thanks for the info that may be what i have to do!

 

watching...good luck with finding an answer.

i'll start looking into it too since i'm about to put on a VIS CF hatch on mine.

 

watching...

i also have the same question
