Any closer pics of the actual hood shocks and the attachment points? How long did the install take?
[/quote]

Yeah, I have a full set of installation pictures and tips/considerations/etc (applicable to my '09 MS3). I don't recall exactly how long it took to do the install, but I know it would take someone less than 15 minutes if they've done it before. It was super easy, even with the couple of hangups I had.

HINT:
On an 09 MS3, re-use your stock hardware.

I'll have the complete walkthrough posted by nightfall, AZ time.

Pretty nice write-up Enki.

 

[Enki]

Thanks!

I will be doing the same for the side markers and rear LED reflectors which I hope to have installed by Thanksgiving day.

The walkthrough should be up the weekend after...Maybe.

My hood dampers arrived today, will be installing this weekend!

Edit: I got a hair up my butt and installed them today. These things give some SERIOUS lift!

What angles are you after?

Ask it of me, and it will be done in nice big 1600x1200 resolution.

Just ordered these for my sedan. Can't wait to get them installed. Although after reading that walkthrough, I'm sorta concerned about the passenger side windshield washer hose.

Ya know what? Don't be. I've put about 800 or so miles on the stock hose config and I think I'm going to leave it, as the washers still work perfectly and the hose looks fine. It moves itself out of the way when you close it. Minor (if any) pinching.

Question, I have installed my dampers and they work and look great. (I'll post some pics later) But my drivers side strut seems to not be level with the passenger side. The drivers side always opens about a 1/4" more. I have tried switching the dampers and altering the location of the fender mounting location with no success. Any suggestions?? Thanks!
