Can take some over the weekend all being well mate.

Fitted to mine, excellent product.

They look the Dogs mate!

I've been looking to put some on mine for a while but have only seen the Tein ones at stupid money.
If you can clarify a couple of points:
Is that carbon fibre effect?
If so did pay extra?
What sort of job to fit? (please explain like you're talking to a monkey - seriously!! :roll:

)
Thanks!

Looking at parts i think the top bonnet bolt is removed / loosened to place upper bracket / ball joint, then secure. The lower section ,remove one of the wing bolts then replace with the lower damper ball joint. Connect damper to upper and lower joints, job done :?:

I know the guy who owns this company so maybe get some discount on group buys for dampers and any other products available :wink:

had these on my old type ra.... could be in line for another set for the "1" depending on price...

I paid around 40 notes for a set and had them fit by adam at autotecnica - look and work really well

Exactly that Gary. Piece of piss to fit, paid Â£70 plus postage for these carbon ones, can't have anything heavy on the 'C'. :lol:

Probably could have got away with just fitting the one but is more aesthetically pleasing to the eye with both fitted.

Someone on scoobynet was selling a set for Â£200 notes unused, probably trying to rip me off :lol:

i like these and would like to order.......

am not home and car not with me............can anyone advise if it's the:

gda or gdb set for the wr1?

thanks

Spoke to the guy earlier on in the week mate as looking to get some of these myself. He advised that:
STI (which includes WR1) need GDB
WRX need the GDA type.
From what he was was saying I don't think there's any difference in spec, it's just the serial numbers for ordering purposes. Also, since the original thread was posted they've increased the price slightly to Â£45.99 inc VAT. With postage @ Â£6.50 it brings a set to Â£52.49. I still think that's good value for money unless anyone knows different?
Hope this helps. :wink:

Dayo I'm just getting numbers first who are interested in a group buy, try and get some discount. Or you have the option to buy direct? The choice is yours.

The dampers come in pairs, I'm not sure of the resistance value,but I would assume not as strong as boot dampers. Possible just to use one instead of two again less resistance on such a light weight bonnet. Just a thought. :idea:

Posted: **Mon May 07, 2012 4:45 pm**

may have a set depending on price....
had a set on my ra and didnt bend bonnet

Posted: **Mon May 07, 2012 4:45 pm**

I'll have a set

Posted: **Mon May 07, 2012 5:19 pm**

Ive had a set for a few years. No problems whatsoever.

Just remember that the cheapest part of these are the tiny spring clips that hold them in place. They easily rust so rub a little thick grease on them to keep them fresh. You can always rub it off for showtime !

Posted: **Mon May 07, 2012 9:53 pm**

I ordered a pair last week and fitted them today, Took about half hour to fit and they work and fit great, Your bonnet will love em
