I had my CF hatch installed tonight (still at A&A, gonna pick it up tomorrow) and I had the pedestal spoiler on my old hatch, so they are way to strong for the CF one. Like if I try to put it down it'll snap the hatch. What shocks do you guys use for this? I know, I've read to just find worn shocks at the junk yard, but I don't have the time. What else would you use?

 

doesn't NRG have shocks? I thought you were hating on AA in your other post?

 

frank gave me an amazing deal on the install. so i went for it. supposedly my lip kit bubbled because of the weather, but i think they just haven't painted it yet.

where would i be able to get the NRG ones?

 

look in the sponsored sales, i know Koyo Industries, DRNFLICKER (spelling?) Nurspec and I think wesellcarparts might have them too...

i know frank is a busy guy, so i think patience is a good thing. especially someone that's working on my car...

 

well ive been waiting for 2 and a half weeks for the lip. oh well, i guess i can wait. ill search around for the NRG ones.

 

when i put my cf hatch on i only used one of the stock shocks, and it works great....


not sure about for the tc though

 

yeah i would try that but i dont have the stock shocks.

and holy cow is NRG really 130???? and i only found them for the hood.

 

anyone?

 

Wait, so you're putting the pedestal spoiler on the cf hatch? Don't you hate it?

Anyway, this might help you.

got rid of the pedestal. but the entire hatch flexed when i tried to close it at the shop.

 

i got very worn out shocks! haha buy me new ones and also pay for the shipping and they are yours!

 

OR i pay for shipping and you ship them to me

 

psssh where else can u find the perfect worn out shocks

 

hurry up and get this deal going! so that tctctc can sleep quietly...

 

yes. because ill be up till 2 in the morning again

and alan, i'll see what i can do.

 

which hatch did you get, and are you saying that you got stronger shocks to hold the oem hatch with the ped spoiler? im gettin my VIS CF hatch installed now also and i hope that the factory shocks wont be too much for the hatch. either way i heard NAPA has shocks that work. i just need to get a part number and ill let you know how they work

 

well, im not getting my freakin car back till monday. and my lip kit isnt even ready after almost 3 WEEKS. ridiculous. frank said that carlos would be in today and i would be able to pick it up. nothing. grrrrrrrrr

but the hatch is motorfx or fiberfx, whatever you would prefer. but it's also a custom weave :D

but yeah dave tell me how the napa ones go. i remember seeing them in a post, just have to search

 

can u take a pic where the shocks bulge out when the hatch is closed?and what if u dont put the shocks..

 

no shocks no open and wont stay open.

 

ohhh it wont open? i thought it just wont stay open...i thought its gon be like a hood where u gotta hold it up.
