The shock body hits the brake/battery covers with the hood still 6" open and then starts to bend when you close it further. I have changed the height of the posts, including adding many more washers per side and it still doesn't work properly. Its a pretty simple installation and I have everything lined up and tightened but the geometry just isn't working.

Maybe my car is different, I don't know.
ensure your car is not on a jack or stands because the changes the geometry if you can send me some pics maybe i can talk you through what is wrong. also check out the youtube video that explains alot of the issues you can trouble shoot as well.
