Stock shocks are too strong. Stock hood weights ~40lbs I thought I read somewhere here on the forum. My double-sided SleK CF hood only weighs 16lbs. I tried only one shock and still too strong IMO and I didn't like the lateral stress it put on the hood when trying to close.
I thought TEIN used to make hood shocks for aftermarket CF hoods. I'll have to search online, but if anyone who has installed a CF hood on to their 1 and can recommends other hood shock options, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.
