I have Tein. Just took them off the car. I'd sell them but they have some cosmetic damage. So not sure if you'd be interested. Let me know though, and I can take some pictures next time I'm at my hangar.

I remember seeing a few years ago, that replaced the hinge on both sides of the hood. I think they were in Honda Tuning. Looked cool and didn't get in the way of the bay at all.

I think the eBay brand is called Sokitech or something.

Looking for performance opinions and not just the best overall damper. Thanks.
I have the tein one's and while they work great, they don't lift the hood beyond stock height like the SOS dampers do. If I had to go for a set again I'd probably go SOS

Those are pretty cool. Wonder what the wear / life span is like on those dampers considering there's a lot of load on them

That is a very interesting option, very different. Thanks for the info.

I think I would only buy used if they were pretty much mint and almost new, they do get weak over time. Thanks for the offer, bet you could sell them if you posted in the FS section.

Cheers.
