Aren't you suppose to compress them a few times before you put them on? I had to put one end on the concrete and a piece of wood on the other end. I basically had to push down with all my weight before it compressed. After that it was easy.

Try moving them down to the next bolt on your frame. I had to do that, now it's the right length and they close fine.

I believe there are three screws on the frame, on each side. I think they are equally spaced. I had someone else contact me from Canada and he came to the conclusion that he has the wrong dampers, his hood wouldn't shut.

Does it make any difference in which way the prop is facing? In the pic JDMSam posted, would it matter if the larger part were mounted to the hood?

Ok, I understand now lol. But I would call them up and tell them about it, they should send you the correct one after you send them back, heck they might let u keep them

Ok ok ok, just got the dampers for crossover, and hes hot on AIM ATM COMEONE SAMMMMM hahahaha
But I installed them , i tryed both way (shocks up top and bottom) but when i put the hood up it doesnt go up as high (like what Sam said his is like) And when I let go it doesnt stay uP!!! WTF, its like the shocks arnt strong enough for my carbon hood somehow.

Weird.. like it doesn't have enough pressure to hold it up?
Edit.. here are some photos of mine for reference.. my driver's side one I actually had to wire down because the pressure from trying to shut my hood the first time broke that little pin that goes through the two holes, and it ripped through the ball cover part. The other one was fine though, I just try to be easy with them when I open and close my hood.
