Loved'em so much bought two sets (one used) and installed three for other people! I actually mixed and matched a set of the original dampeners with the second generation set to get the ultimate raise and drop height with perfect resistance! One of each FTW!

Here's a pic of NuffZed's roadster with the second kit installed, one gen 1 strut and one gen 2... perfect height and tension
both together!

if thats the case, fine, but the original post claims that the z1 hood dampers are bending hoods. which IMO...is wrong. considering z1 is an actual forum sponsor, and you are not.

Kelly is doing this to help out members AND paying a percent to the forum. He is not making a bunch of money or running a business like Z1. People have had problems with theirs be it install or slight difference in build who knows but problems were reported.

Check out Galeforce's build, he had a good write up on them and what he did to correct them.

Just an FYI - I have NO issues with my Z1 struts.

Not everyone has issues but some people have.
To be clear: My goal here wasn't to start a pissing contest. I had a Z1 kit ready to purchase until Pintsize said she had issues with it warping her hood on the drivers side and had to uninstall them so I started looking for alternatives. At a MAZOC meet, one of the cars that showed up (I think it might have been xXXChrisXXx) had Kelly's hood damper kit and I really liked what I saw. I tracked down Kelly on the forums and begged him to build me a set and he asked me to help drum up interest so that he can at least break even on the kits by selling more than just mine. Like literally bugged him until he agreed to make me a set. I think it took 3-4 PMs. Basically, the guy was doing me a favor. If you have the Z1 kit and are happy with it, great. Several people *have* complained about it kit and Kelly's kit is just another way to go. I'm making no money off of this and Kelly is making very little (if any) so please stop acting like this is some sort of scam.
