What Shocks for Carbon Fiber Hatch??

Yes, I searched!!

I need to know what shocks you guys are using for your c/f hatches? Mine just got installed w/out the shocks b/c they are just too much for the lightweight hatch. Couldnt even close the hatch with them on and also they shoot the hatch up soo fast if you dont watch out you'll take a hard shot to the face!! Help me out guys, I need an alternative cuz I sure aint using a stick to hold it open lol!!

Maybe you could try going to the junkyard and looking for an older car with similar but weaker struts?
