Harbor Freight should have spring pullers relatively cheap... the kind that were used back in the day to adjust drum brakes would work perfectly. I have one that I've used for all sorts of other applications. It locks on around the spring so it can't pop out and injure you

 

Hmm, found this thread through a link in another thread - my trunk is a very aggressive, wife's mentioned it, and it has actually catapaulted a coke bottle before!

Going to try this tonight. If the left/DS spring adjustment doesn't work, will order the right/PS spring and shock combo.

 

Does anyone know if there is a SB for adding a damper to the spring?

 

Call KW suspensions in Cali they have a single coilover setup with an adjustable damper system for menacing and possessed trunk lids. The cost is $1900.00 + shipping. lol

 

There's a damper on the right side. Is your's shot?

 

My driver side spring is already at it's softest setting (towards the front) and the passenger side with the dampener is set for the middle. How do I know if my dampener is bad or not? I would like to see some comparison video showing before and after with the dampener changed at the stock settings.

 

My trunk lid used to open too fast, but then I installed the M5 trunk finisher and the added weight has slowed the opening to a reasonable rate.

 

Does anyone have a picture of this "finisher"? Is it just for looks or does it have a purpose? Thanks.

 

Look at go_forkyourself's post #14. Trunk finisher. Obviously for looks since you lose the keyhole.

 

I'm not sure if it's shot, but my trunk lid does flip up very quickly.
