I got this one off ebay from some guy who makes tons of CF pats. He did a great job and the fitment is very good.

it was biggest pain in the as$ to install!! omg.. you gotta drill all the holes for interior panel clips. They are all labeled tho... just takes a while.

do you guys think it'll work if i get shocks off a car with a small trunk, not a hatch?? would that work? yeah i think i'll try that cuz they should all be universal fit just diff. stiffness.

 

the shock length has to be the same, so it opens the same distance unless u dont care about how much it opens.

 

thank you,

and yeah, i'll let you know how my trip to the junk yard turns out. . . hope i find something that works

 

ooops. Firedog, i forgot to add... i paid 90 bucks to get the glass out of my old hatch and installed in CF one.
everything else done with help of friends

hey someone was gonna ask that question eventually

 

damn .... and you posted about a month ago.. still no solution??

wow now i feel bad, swear i searched!!

 

M, there might be an adjustment on the stock shocks to fix this. I'm in Madison, so I can't check my car now, but it would probably be a screw on the shock somewhere

 

I have a friend who has a Matrix and its hatch shocks can barely hold the hatch open. Try getting the weight of the Matrix OEM hatch vs. weight of your CF hatch. IDK about fitment tho. I'm just trying to throw some ideas. :D

 

I had the same problem with the hatch I had from Motor-FX....I just took off the shocks and left it like that...

I hardly used the hatch anyways so was no problem..
