Let me see what i can come up with....

Uh...that's exactly what I will be doing in a day or so

I know, but if what you do proves it works better and the supplier does it and gets the same results then it goes to show maybe a slight flaw in the design currently.

There isnt a design flaw :hello:

many things can be made better or modified. thats why we buy after market parts ;)

As of right now, both kenchan and our Z shows no bulge.

It cant be a design flaw! you didnt design anything you just found parts from existing kits that somewhat worked.

The brackets that go on the hood have a huge amount of flex and are held on by 1 bolt.

To mount the ball joints on the fenders you have to cut weather striping out of the way.

You still have a possibility of it striking the plastic trays that cover the batter/brake booster.

Granted it is a "mod" and requires some fitment work, I feel this is a poorly put together kit.

Provide some brackets that move the shocks to where they dont hit anything and so you don't have to cut the weather striping and charge 150 bucks for a "decent" kit

Hell here is what we get with the Kits on mustangs

Mustang Billet Hood Strut Kit

:iagree:

Im sorry, i guess you didnt read the entire thread.

First, there is no flex at all on the bracket that goes on the hood. Moving the ball joint over may in fact cause the damper to rub hit even more, across the entire cover and IMO i dont think to long brackets coming towards the center of the engine will look good :/. Its kind of hard not to hit anything when the tray is in the way of everything ;)

You do not need to cut the entire weather striping.

Shall I take video of the flex?

Yes moving it more towards the center and straightening it out might take some effort to "design" and get right but would ensure that it would work properly. I am kind of pissed that I didn't do this and start selling them myself.

Yes but you still have to cut it and that is my point. Where if a lower bracket were provided you wouldn't have to cut it. much like the one you see on the mustang kit where it moves the ball joint inline and not on top of the fender.

I am not trying to attack you at all nor do I think its a bad price for what you get or anything like that. I just feel that there wasn't much thought in the "kit" where there could have been and it would have made a much better product. But you get what you paid for I guess.

sent you a PM. Just checked our Z and there is NO flex at all. can you also send pics of this.

not taking it as an attack, you have every right to voice your opinon

I responded, I appreciate you handling this maturely (many people here take things personally and it gets nasty)

This is the only picture that we got today, only had my phone so not very good.

dreamer can you confirm its hitting the covers also, did you try moving them over a bit towards the fender?

I have Password JDM pieces which replace the covers, but they are just a very bit "skinner" and they touched. I cannot move them over as I do not want to file out the holes unless something major happens, once we saw they were being hit we just removed the pieces and went onto the next step to see what else was hitting or causing any bends.

Here is a shot of kenchans hood. looks good/level...
