janz70 Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 As the title says - fitted new ING rear spoiler but the OEM dampers on the rear hatch aren't up to the job and are allowing it to close, mostly when I'm reaching in so it looks like it trying to eat me - or sometimes it will bash me on the head just to annoy me So anybody know where I can get some uprated ones or can I tweak the OEM ones as it stays up for a while then falls closed, so it looks to be just slightly beyond their limit.

janz70 Posted December 5, 2007 Author Share Posted December 5, 2007 she's had it for the last few days I only filled it to the brim on saturday night and it will be empty when she get home tonight. No doubt she will then leave it empty or even tell me my car needs filling up - sometimes I despair Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N15MNO-Daron Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 Ok try removing the counter balance first if u like.. but i think thats a waste of time...i did that already and it wasnt enough.. if the boot is dropping then u probably need uprated dampers.. this topic has been covered 4 times in the last 2 weeks.. PM bigphil for ESR uprated dampers £100.. me and Pingu2 just fitted ours (as we both have nismo spoilers) and its the only solution. Bigphil usually gets them to u next day delivery so its quick too and about 15 mins fitting time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarnie Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 and about 15 mins fitting time. Or 30 mins if you do it wrong first time around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N15MNO-Daron Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 and about 15 mins fitting time. Or 30 mins if you do it wrong first time around PS the first attempt was in near storm weather conditions and at night without much street lighting.. was one the worst ideas ever!
