They can be made to fit with the shocks but they put excess pressure on then. Probably weakens the fiberglass underneath

The shocks actually warp trunks and hoods when they got hot, as the resin gets more flexible when it's really hot

I've never had the trunk fall while its up. It stays up very well without the shocks. If you flip up the stock trunk with the shocks on it just look at the angle it's at when it's tilted forward
