SupraP-Z Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 I bought mine from Whifbitz: http://www.garagewhifbitz.co.uk/garage-whifbitz-1644.html Good fit and look great in the carbon. Id looked elsewhere for cheaper options, but by the time you pay shipping and duty etc, its pretty much the same price. I do however find the brackets tend to move slightly, i think thats a fault of my own though. Need to really tighten them up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MATT RR Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 I bought my dampners from SGS engineering and they are great quality, a nice black matt finish as well, I went for 2 x - GS8-18-210-260 Fixed Force Gas Struts with a NM force of 300NM each which seems to be perfect. You will then need to buy some brackets off ebay or somewhere, SGS do sell brackets but I ended up using some off an old kit. http://www.sgs-engineering.com/gas-struts?gclid=Cj0KEQjwipi4BRD7t6zGl6m75IgBEiQAn7CfF65pOU08xoZTGz2a5d0UbAY6tyKCeYbS51EAfw27PL8aAgdZ8P8HAQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 I also used SGS dampers after seeing Matts, definitely better quality that those seen in the 'off the shelf' kits. I had my local fabricator make my brackets, and had them powdercoated black. Very substantial setup now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
black_widow87 Posted April 7, 2016 Author Share Posted April 7, 2016 Im swaying towards making my own, can somebody specify the length of damper? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kendo11 Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 There are/were some listed on eBay for about £45. No idea on fitment though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MATT RR Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Im swaying towards making my own, can somebody specify the length of damper?

black_widow87 Posted September 7, 2016 Author Share Posted September 7, 2016 Final bump before i go down the SGS damper route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
black_widow87 Posted May 18, 2017 Author Share Posted May 18, 2017 Right iv gone down the SGS damper route, however, 300NM doesn't seem to hold the weight of my bonnet up. I do have a UK scoop but surely that shouldn't make much difference? Also does anybody that has used this product have any pics of there brackets? There are 2 factory holes in the hinges and did wonder how people use brackets when the holes line up pretty much perfectly.. One side hold the washer fluid pipe, but surely can be re-routed?
