Adjusting rear hatch latch or actuator

For those that do not have those Nismo springs, I just glued these to the car at the point where the springs touch the body of the car.

Yep, that's what I was looking to do. I did some more research and found out that the sport spring and nismo spring assembly are the same. All that they did was add a 1/4" thick spacer at the bottom of the rubber boot to make it a little longer.It can easily be done with washers on even a couple of nickels.

My nismo boots were torn so I popped the boots off my sport spring assembly, put the nismo spacers in and pulled the boot back up. The sport boot is a little shorter so I used a c-clamp to compress the spring while pulling the boot up and over the lip of the spring assembly. Added a little super glue just to make sure they don't pull back down. They look like brand new nismo spring assemblies now.
