Thanks to you all for the input...
I am going to follow S2K Jimbo's suggestion
and check with Evasive on the Teins.
After watching a video with the Teins on an S2K,
I think they may be the better product.
JC s2K, I aggree Top Secrete's 300 + for dampers is to much... I'll put
the money in another mod...
I will order them tomorrow...

also MAKE SURE! when you install it before you actually put it on the car to pump them a few times otherwise its stiff as hell the first time...pm me if you need me to elaborate.

Also consider that the NRG hood dampers are longer and open the hood at a higher degree of an angle then the tein's do.
If you do a search, you'll definitely be able to find pictures of both brands to help you make your decision.

I have the Tein's on right now. I did pick up a set of the CF NRG's since I thought they would look better, but the set I got from S2X are too long and won't allow my hood to close all the way, so now I have to deal with the BS of returning them and waiting for them to verify before they will send me out another set.

I have the Tein's as well.. with no problems, however I do believe the NRG's do allow you to put the hood up higher. If you really need it that high.

Well, when I go to close the hood, the dampers bottom out before the hood closes all the way and leave a nice 6" gap. I have pics at home if you want to see what I'm talking about. I think they packaged the wrong extension piece (the part that screws into the actual shock/damper) with my kit.
