i've been looking around for some hood dampers for my bd and all i seem to find are the tein ones which are a little over priced and im not to in love with the green color i'ed like to find something a little cheaper and black if possible any one know of a place that has kit for the bd or if the gc kits will work

$177 is a bit high for the Tein shocks.
GC/GD/BE hood shocks are completely different mount points then the BD.
You CAN always purchase a set and drill new mounting holes. You have to deal with hood location and proper fender mounting point.
Good luck

If I have enough people I could do a group buy on the Teins, maybe around 10 Bd/BG/BK owners. I'm pretty sure I can do it lower than $170 shipped but I have to check first.

The absolute lowest I can go is $160 shipped.... I would need at least 10 sold. I could do $155 if I sold 15+ of them.

so ive been talking to the guys at gimmick motor sports and they said the damper kit for the rs should work for the legacey. im gonna give it a try since there only $80, i have been looking around online, all the images i have seen look like if there any problems it will be with damper length not the angle i will let u guys know how it goes
