I always had the problem that the hood wudnt open all the way when i was workin on the car. Well i took the hook shocks off a e32 735i and now the hood opens all the way because they are slightly longer then the e34 hook shocks. They are also extremly stiff. I also lubed up all the hook linkage because is squiked and was ruff and now when i pull the hook lever the hood actually pops forward instead of just unlocking.

This post is for you fanatics as myself with all the small things and trying to make things work better then before

Cheers
