I have the SOS units installed - they will hold your hood in the stock position but if there is wind they may blow all the way open. I tend to hang onto the hood until it is all the way open.

I have heard the NRG ones are nice with 2 heights and the SOS look nice as well.

Are the SOS dampers full or half pressure?

I have the NRG have pressure ones. I haven't had any problems like other have. When I have the car in the garage they hold the hood open wherever you would like. Like FastD said though, if you are outside the wind tends to blow the hood all the way open.

"shock" ordered a pwjdm intake 3 months ago, just got it in and something happened with there mold and it doesn't fit. hes now arguing with them over a refund. So unless you are buying a used one that was made on the old mode its not going to fit anyways. For the money just get the j's racing one.

I like tree branches. they are readily available, are super effective, and best of all, cheap.
