Hood Damper/ Struts for the DE4 DE5 Type S

[notorious9i6]

Pretty easy install, about 15 minutes. Works how it should! Only pain was removing the two plastic clips where the new bolts go.

You can get it on amazon for 38 for the normal black, and 58 for the carbon fiber ones

Nice they look to work great and really free up space. Are you going to do the rear hatch upgrade with the fl5’s dampers?

I didn’t know there was a difference. I can imagine it being stronger because of the wing. If I did something it would be adding a power life gate back there

Yeah just the added lift strength but in my experience, it feels like we kinda need it. The stock struts seem ever so slightly under-powered for the hatch door. Mikstore I think was teasing a power lift-back setup but not sure if it’s for sale yet.

I installed the Civic powerlift gate kit from Mikstore a couple months ago. This was my post: https://www.integraforums.com/forum...tailgate-kit-from-mikstore.52305/#post-856287

If they release an Integra specific kit, I might entertain reinstalling it. Back to John's video, thanks for the upload. I might have to do this mod also!

Can it be run with front strut bars ? Seems like the mounting may get in the way .

I remember seeing your post. Thanks for the input. Not having the button fit in the interior is a huge let down!

If i would have to guess, i would have to say no. I'm sure it could work with some but i wouldn't just because how these are mounted to the strut bolts.

I have no long term data for evidence, but I used this exact kit and have prl front strut bar. No issues with torque or fitment.

good info!

I forgot to give an update on this. Thanks for the link and video @notorious9i6 . It took a week or two for it to come in.

I installed these over the weekend but I wasn't able to torque one side down very well because the tape undid itself before I was able to torque it down tight. If the bolt falls off then I'll have to buy another kit (and fish out the bolt from behind the hood which will probably be a pain in the ass). I'm not too worried because I was able to install the other side perfectly.

Love it so far! Takes a bit more effort to close but otherwise, it feels great.
