People had a lot of problems with the eBay hood dampers, you want the ones from Redline Tuning that are in the third thread below.

Funny thing is everyone hates the Atlas ones but I really like mine. I like having the hood lower for shows and I haven't had any problems with them.

eBay hood struts = CRAP!!! they will destroy your hood.. send them back.. Go with Redline Tuning. Trust me. it's worth the extra coin..
