3FIDDYZ Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 Take the wiper out too too save more weight!! If that dosnt do it, Envy are doing some uprated ones that will do the job on heavy spoilers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris`I Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 Yup, get the weight out of there and it will help. If not Adam@Z1auto has supplied loads of people with uprated struts as well as Envy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shire350Z Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 I took the weight out and dint make any difference so bought the uprated ones from adam in a group buy, they work a treat now and are very powerfull, come with nissan replacement brackets so very easy to swap over!
