hey guys

so here is my problem.. . .

I got my hatch installed and the fitment on it is really good, BUT when i put the stock shocks back on, they push on it too much making it fit bad and fly up when opened.

What should I do?? Where can i find shocks that would fit and not be that stiff?
Those who have CF hatch installed- what did you do?


with stock shocks:


no shocks:

 

kinda offtopic, but that looks very good, other than it sticking out...actually the back of mine looks the same, except stock hatch...same color, tinted tails, and is that also HKS Hi-Power on yours?

 

thank you! i was surprised that the fitment is pretty good for CF hatch off ebay...

and yeah its HKS :D

are you going to exposed this sunday? we get free tickets to the b96 b-bash after the show...
you should come out, it'll be fun. let me know if you wanna roll together



***********back on topic************

 

take one off... its ghetto, but it will work.

 

i tried that... it is flush on one side and pushed up on another!!! ahhh.... dunno what to do..

 

tie bricks onto the inside haha

 

hmm.. i forget the name of the company...

but there are struts out there that are weaker for the purpose of what your problem is.

or hell.. try to find someone on here with some worn out struts

 

^ can you look up the company name??

 

"cf hatch- all about weight reduction- but damn, with those bricks i got in there it weighs more than stock"

 

maybe i should just get one of those huge ricer spoilers that weigh a ton lol

 

what brand of CF hatch you got??

 

just find some shocks for the correct weight. the stock ones are for the HEAVY OEM hatch, and the CF one is lighter, so just get some for the lighter weight, and it should be fine.

 

^^^ thankkkkkkkkkk youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu mr. obvious

 

okay, she knows that.. telling her that she need shocks doesnt do anything, telling her where to find them will be the solution.

 

but beautiful car scionized. My bodyman and i are discussing ways to make mine work too. My one boy has a 2000 jetta and the shocks on his trunk are really getting worn out, i was thinking that if i could switch him shocks it would be the best of both worlds. Ill let you know how that turns out, you can PM me with any other questions.

 

how much did you guys pay to get the installed?

 

^the hatch, and bump for who makes the hatch...

 

my bodyman is also a friend so i am getting a good deal. I will let you know the total amount. In a week i am putting on the full kaminari body kit, carbon hood, carbon hatch, kam. adj race wing so i will let you know once we finish. sorry to threadjack. Back On Topic

 

hoods are easy, i did my friiends tib but the hatch looks complicated which is why i ask..

 

oops... pepboys/advace auto has them by me
