just purchased a seibon CF hood. and looking for a damper kit to support both sides once the hood is up, as the standard latch only supports one side and the hood seems to lean due to the flex.

using the search and looking on manufacturers website dampers arent recommended because of the resistance when closing.

has anyone come across anything that could over come my problem?

Tein dampers seem to be the best option atm as they only damp rather then use a spring as well which would over power the flexi carbon....

any recommendations please guys

I think the teins would be good, there is rexpeed also

jontruman

are the Teins spring loaded? reading a few reports that they are

rexpeed has a good set, check them out when u get a chance.

jontruman

yeah know of rexpeed. as i have said in my first post im looking for ones that arent over powerfull for the lightness of a carbon bonnet

Ive had teins on my honda and it does spring the hood back pretty good.

Rexpeed all the way.
I have them on mine with a cf hood.
They don't have too much spring unless you just fling it open without holding it.

jontruman

is that with a carbon hood?

probly not
the teins (and most other brands)usually have a warning that they are NOT for carbon hoods
usually the pressure from the dampers cause stress and can cause the carbon to crack
I'd be really careful if i was you

jontruman

thats exactly the question i asked in the first place.

is there ANY brand that is safe with carbon?
