I am in between Rexpeed and Mayne. Mayne's account on here is disabled, so I am wondering?

What are peoples experiences down the road? I read the other two threads, but no long term experiences.

Do both need to have tape under the bracket to keep it from spinning?

 

a friend had mynes on his 2009 GTS and it really made me think about getting one for the X.

 

Whats this tape you speak of? Ive heard nothing but good things about them. ( dampers in general)

 

Mynes said to install double sided tape under the hood bracket, so that it will grab and I assume not spin.

 

if you look at rexpeed's mounting brackets, you'll see that they butt up right against other components which will prevent it from spinning.

I got mine from evo-r.net

 

I have Rexpeed dampers and they don't require any tape. I think the Chargespeed ones have a better bracket design though because it bolts on from two places, effectively preventing rotation on the brackets. The Rexpeed bracket braces itself against a perpendicular surface which works too, but not as well. The downside of Chargespeed is that it's pretty expensive

I meant to say Colt Speed, not Chargespeed. Too many "___Speed"s

 

which company was the one that made the white colored hood dampers for the Evo X?

 

^Colt speed.

BTW, anybody running the Tein hood dampers? Reviews?

 

I just installed a set of Rexspeed dampers and they fit quite nicely. They are almost too strong in my opinion, they could handle having a little less charge in the struts.

By looking at the pics of the Mynes, they appear to be the same as Rexspeed just not carbon fiber appearance. It doesn't appear that Mynes sells Evo parts anymore anyway.

 

I have the Gruppe-S carbon fiber dampers and I have no complaints.

 

lol yea, if you let go of the hood once it passes the point where it can lift, it pretty much launches the hood to the sky

I have Rexspeed and install was easy and they look nice.

 

After I realized what to do, it took me less than 5 minutes to install the new kit and remove the old rod. Kind of expensive, but works well and delivers what they promise. Even helps to close it, no more pushing to make sure it locks. These are the ones I bought. Pics from Rexpeed.
