hey......does anyone know how many pounds of shock good for VIS CF turnk?? I took off one spring already because my turnk will pop up so quick if i used 2 springs....i wanna get 2 shocks instead of 1 or 2 springs...
if people are replacing the springs with 40lb shocks, and your trunk works fine with only one spring, dont you think you should get two 20lb shocks?

just wondering but has anyone tried using a laser level to help position the shocks?
all you really need is a ruler, look at the pics for an approximate location, mount the one side of the shock to under the rear deck, then mark the location on the trunk arm that the shock extends to. Close the trunk, get in the back and measure from that point to the mounting point under the rear deck. The distance should be the closed length plus the two ball joints, if not, adjust till it does, and secure the other end of the shock to the trunk arm.
boourns. the sedan trunk is smaller than the coupe trunk. i used the mounting locations that someone else (with a coupe) used and my trunk would open amazingly, but would not shut!!!!!
Okay, today i found out 2 20lbs of shocks are still not enough for a VIS CF turnk without trunk springs. The best shocks for it are 2 30lbs. i just wasted my money again...damn!
Might have been discussed in another thread, but how about this mod for the hood? No more rod, however, would limit you using the racing prop. But our `04 is never going to need the racing prop...
i juz installed mine, it opens and closes fine but leaves a little gap on the right side, now i gotta make 3 more holes for the bracket, it'll be my 12th hole juz on the right side bracket,
can anyone post up any better pics of the front mounting point beneath the speakers? i'm going to attempt this install tonight or tomorrow, but i don't wanna mess it up by guessing a location...
