Oh..wait..that setup relocates the mounts completely. And in a way that my engineering mind likes!..I've always used the gas shocks that way. (My Early Bronco hood shocks..the hatch lifts I added to my 16' Donzi..any rear door on a hatchback car..) Couldn't figure why the Pantera had them straight up and at such a terrible disadvantage mechanically.


Yes, they are engineered the way it should have been done in the first place.

I have a Carbon Fiber Decklid on my car. With the stock shocks the Decklid was lifting and twisting at the hinge area because of the extreme force the stock shocks put on the Decklid when it is in the closed position. They were ruining my Decklid.

With the new, better engineered setup, the Decklid opens and closes as it should, and the Decklid is no longer under extreme pressure that is trying to twist the fragile mounting area of the Decklid...

By the way, thanks for the order!!!!!
