Ordered mine sunday and got them on wednesday! I installed one side and it held up the hatch by itself! I couldn't get the damn 12mm screw off of the other side :/. Any potential downside to only having one installed?
We do not recommend leaving it in such condition, could lead to issues causing by causing the Hatch to flex.
I just got the HP struts in the mail today and they are amazing! Just wish I went through you rather then going through the website...maybe I would have got a few bucks off. I love it and I have already told people in 350zclubofflorida. Thanks guys for making a great product!

really fast shipping put the HP on my 03 with stock spoiler, now it takes almost two hands to close hatch and installed in only 10 min. I would get some one to hold the hatch and support it with something when changing these shocks. I was amazed how much weight my old struts supported even though it did not hold the hatch up. If you just use a stick and it slips the consequences could be very bad

Bump for a great vendor and great product. I recently purchased a Z and the hatch struts were worn out. If it hadnt been for a seized mount on one side (I had to cut off the OEM strut to remove the mount) I would say this would have been a 20 minute job. Hatch now goes up on its own.

I just installed these like 3 weeks ago and they are still working awesome. They are uhp so they require a lot of force but if you have a big spoiler your good to go with these. One of the best things ever. So nice to have a hatch that doesn't want to kill me no matter how cold or warm.
Based on the feedback I have recieved HP's are adequate for almost all wings, but we suggest UHP for cars with wings to ensure there are no issues. But the blue Z in the video is using HP.
Awesome! Glad your enjoying them!
Thank you! Hopefully the prior brain damage isn't to severe

If anybody was stuck between these and the ones strong arm makes, go with the z1's. I bought the strong arms and the fitment is poor, and as a result the hatch catches a little air which makes a ton of noise on the highway.
