    Late model verts have 2 150N shocks vs 1 300N shock.

      That makes sense, equal loading would keep the trunk from being high on the drivers and low on the passenger side. It's annoying.

        Except now, when one shock gets weak, it won't keep the trunklid open. Then you have to replace 2 shocks vs 1. 150N shocks are pretty weak especially if you have a spoiler. I ended up using 1 old 300N shock from the JY that has weakened as a replacement for one of mine. It is annoying how the trunk tilts a bit but at least it stays open when you want it to.

            S14 is in! Hope to get the rear subframe back in this week, then hook up the driveshaft. Other than that, it's just a matter of hooking up all the little things (fuel, coolant, wiring, etc).

            I can't wait to start this thing up.

                  Not yet, the latest from ECS is they are in transit to their warehouse. So not shipped to me yet.

                  Nope! My one goal is to get it to the picnic, cosmetic shape is irrelevant. If it runs and drives, it's going to be there. Most likely it will look like some sort of Mad Max vehicle ;)
