Karl, I would just do the MD Iso Propyl Thermal...unless you want to make an adjustment to your hood like Jake has done.....Ask him about the hood extender ???? I t could get you the space you need to clear the hood.

I also had a CF hood with the 5/16th and no rubbing....so if you just want to stay safe then go that route.

This made me laugh out loud. Is it made of rubbing alcohol? Man I just keep finding ways to poke fun at you Chris!

Karl you can't go wrong with the Motordyne Iso Thermal 5/16 spacer. As for issues with it rubbing the hood I haven't noticed any with mine. Jake's hood is spaced at the hinges to release heat from the engine compartment. There are angled shims in there.

Travis I would agree with Jake on the numbers. You're going to see higher numbers than us DE guys are used to.

I work in the oilfield. My truck is my office and I pretty much just leave the browser open on my350z all the time whether I'm at my computer or not. I typically have a lot of opportunities to check and reply to things though. Next week I'll be back on day shift. My shift changes weekly - days one week, nights the next, and it just cycles.

I would say advertise those badboys on www.thepartstrader.com

I agree the s techs are stiffer because they are lower they made them stiffer to prevent some bump stop action they works well though, I've yet to smack my bump stops,

Hey Travis I noticed THMotorsports is selling the Tokico D-Spec shocks with Tein S.Tech springs for $625 shipped.

I would imagine the H.Tech combo would be the same since the springs are priced the same everywhere else. That's one helluva deal.
