Count me in

It's "first come, first serve" so you're better off just sending him cash and your shipping address if you want in.

Putting together the shipping boxes and addresses. once the parts come in they will be shipped out same day. Remember is it first come first serve so if I do not have your order I wont be able to get it out quickly. Parts are scheduled to arrive late this week first of next week. :tup:

She didn't start the thread. I derailed some other thread asking if anyone had experience with the Z1 kit and she said she had it on her car but it slightly bows the hood on the driver's side so she removed it.

Might have been the "what did you do with your Z today" thread.

I ordered mine from the The Z store already, but it's out of stock, maybe I can cancel it? Am I too late?

Kinda ticked off to hear these can damage my hood. Or is it just he Z1 motor sports one that's bad?

Visiting my grandparents in Leesburg, I should run down and grab one! lol. If there are going to be left overs lmk, Ill paypal you tomorrow if you have enough, Ill race it back to PA!

I have plenty to go around. the parts shipped today so I hope to have them in a couple of days. I have sold two right now there are a total of 15 available. first come first serve.

I searched the web and didn't find anything on hood dampers bending the hood.

yea me neither

it is not about bending the hood it is more about not allowing the hood to close properly. this is due to a couple of reasons. 1 bad design of the kit or 2 improper installation of the kit. Usually it comes down to improper installation.

Hopefully it comes with good installation instructions. I'm a bit apprehensive about installing them now.

I'm in. PM sent.

Thanks

Dang i am taking some things to jeff today to have painted let me know when you get them.

Payment Sent! Thanks

Mitch

Now I am REALLY in. Payment sent.

These things are the tits... get them!

6 sold 9 left!!!

huh?

he was one of my original customers and I guess he likes them. :tup:

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

Kelly,

Please set one aside for me! Thx

got ya:tup:

I guess I'll join in. If I can get this for 80 bucks that's money well spent.

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.

yeah i havnt seen anytbing abiut the z1 bending hoods. and i also have not seen one do it in person and ive seen a hell of alot of them installed.

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.

Just to be clear, the struts I had a fittment issue with are the Z1 hood struts, not the strut kit Kellyefields is offering.

I would like some and I wouldn't need shipping or anything.

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.

:iagree::iagree:

guys we need to let this go. if you want to go with z1 struts then go with them. you dont see me posting on their threads even though they used the design I came up with. They decided to make their own set after they said they did not want to work with me due to the low percentage they would make so they decided to cut out the middle man. simple fact is their kit is sound because I did the Research and development and got it right before selling them to the public the problem comes down to the fact the instructions on how to install them is not there. I lay out the issues that one may have and have had success in helping people fix the problems 99 percent of the time. I have even refunded people that did not like it for one reason or the other. Simply stated you can buy there kit or buy mine they are almost identical. I am doing this to help out the forum members and the only money made goes to the forum ($5 per each sale). So to chops :owned:

now down to business I have about 8 left if all of those that said they were interested comes through. Parts left the supplier and should be arriving soon. I will keep you posted and will send shipping info once I ship them via paypal.

just let me know. I will be at import face off on the 24th in gainsville so if you are there I will have a set for you. :tup:

bro, im not trying to start anything with you, so now "owned" here. i was simply stating that the original post makes it out to seem that the z1 hood struts are a problem. i am not defending z1 whatsoever, just wanted to call it out.

same as Chops. dont care which set people buy. but spreading ******** is well.. ********.

Like I said, they were/have been an issue for several people on these forums but not all. Quit trying to make it sound like there was some sort of agenda here.

I will be there and I will be interested in a set. :tiphat:
