Re: (paniaguae640)
I am also installing the dampers for the trunk and found a MUCH EASIER way of installing them then following the guide on preludepower.
I used Mighty Lift 95784 (which came with the hardware). They are longer and b/c of that you use the holes already there and don't have to drill new holes.
You use the hole for the tension bar on the trunk arm and one of the holes behind the seat.
If you wait a couple of days, I will have some pics up on prelude power explaining this.

i saw those dampers at autozone while i was looking for mounting hardware. 30 odd bucks, not a bad deal. but they look just like the dampers i swiped from a civic hatch at the yard [free]. i bent one working on it so i guess i might have to go your way. i drilled the **** out of my arms, which i'm hating right now. if i don't have to drill holes... i would be ever so thankful. guess i'm going to have to go back to the yard and look for that thrashed 5g i bought brembo bbk's from.
