Anybody installed these or similar type dampers? I was looking into getting them but wanted to hear any type of feedback (negative & positive) on it before I purchase.

Oh snap! Ive been looking into doing this. In the early days of B16ness, on MSV, many companies were contacted to get hood struts. Stillen and many others said it was not possible, and left it there. i guess im gonna be buying some this friday then.

Let me know how they turn out. I'm looking at getting the Elite system as you might as well get their top of the line struts for the extra money.

Beats me why stillen and those companies would say that. I had some sexy a** mounts made for my own setup I was making, but the shocks I had, had very s***ty mounts on the ends and when I close my hood it snapped off the end and shot out. Almost got ugly. I dropped that project there.. I need to go buy some shocks with stronger ends.

Not saying they aren't good, but the ones in the pictures do LOOK to be weak on the ends. I can't say because I've never seen/used them in person but am interested in hearing what anyone has to say.

2 year limited warranty for QuickLIFT, 4 years for QuickLIFT ELITE:
Redline Tuning warrants for 2 years from the date of purchase all components included in the QuickLIFT and 4 years from the date of purchase for the QuickLIFT Elite kits. Kits transferred to other vehicles voids the warranty. Our warranty for this kit is only valid if installed on the vehicle for which it was purchased. Our manual and testing are specific to the stock hoods for specified model years your QuickLIFT was designed.

With a 2 year warranty I would say go for it.
