hood dampers on cf hood? anyone running tein hood dampers on their cf hood? thoughts? reviews? im getting mixed review, some say only uses on stock oem hood but some did not have any problems running an aftermarket hood damper on their cf hood.. TEIN damper/NRG damper? anyone? i know password jdm can release the gas pressure, but one time only. so if you are changing back to oem hood...well u are hooped |
NRG makes hood struts for CF hoods or OEM hoods Shun Suziki has the NRG carbon fiber ones on his CF hood and it works great, they don't shoot it up or anything from my understanding, Tein only makes them for OEM hoods. NRG or PWJDM for CF |
NRG-CF hood dampers...i'm running both, no extra pressure or anything. Got a wicked deal on them, and sold my old OEM hood dampers out. Tein does only make for OEM hoods IIRC. If you plan on using hood struts made for OEM hood on CF, be VERY careful, and use one only. I used two, because I always had two people to help close it. |
Mugen Evolution: I ordered a set of dampers for my vehicle too...Sokie Tech, however most ppl tell me that because the CF hood is so light, that when you release the hatch the damper might spring up too fast...causing the hood to fly upwards。 But I see many local tuners using them and says its fine. |
Hey you should try science of speed hood damper. They are very good. |
The problem with CF hoods is that not all of them are reinforced in the area where the hood shocks go. Some guys build metal plates into the CF hood where the hood shocks are supposed to go, so you can use OEM shocks, although with the lighter weight, you can get away with just one shock, or two that are lighter duty. Research this before you buy. I think it depends more on the hood itself than whatever shocks you may be using. |

as soon as I went NRG-CF (made for CF). I was so happy with the amount of gas-charge, and all that. Quote:

jay where did u get urs? how much? i see NRG listed for about $160 i can get TEINS for about $160 ish taxes in but not gonna get teins since like everyone said its for OEM model only NRG has two models, one for OE and one for lightweight engine hood. password jdm is the cheapest for about $110 but not sure if im feeling 100% by venting some of the gas pressure myself |

I actually got mine for $130 used from some guy on CRSX, but he test fit it once, he has an OE hood, and he bought the wrong one. That being said... go with these, i'm super happy, and they do my BC vented hood some justice! |
cool good deal he bought the wrong one as in he bought the one thats meant to go on a cf one? :thumbsup: |
my friend's ek hb with cf hood was using tein dampers, i'd probably go with something specific for cf to be safe. |
