High-Pressure Design:

The high-pressure design is specifically engineered to handle the extra weight of aftermarket spoilers and wings. Factory 350Z hatch dampers are designed for the stock hatch weight and quickly become overwhelmed when heavy spoilers like the Nismo V2, Voltex, or other large wings are installed. The P2M high-pressure dampers provide significantly more lifting force, ensuring the hatch opens smoothly and stays securely propped up even with heavy aerodynamic components installed.

Premium German Nitrogen Gas Shocks:

The dampers feature premium German nitrogen gas shocks that provide consistent, reliable performance over thousands of cycles. Nitrogen gas is used because it doesn't compress like air, maintaining consistent pressure and lifting force regardless of temperature or altitude. The German engineering ensures precise manufacturing tolerances and long-term reliability. These premium shocks will outlast and outperform budget alternatives.

Solves Common 350Z Hatch Issues:

Many 350Z owners experience sagging or weak hatch operation, especially as the vehicle ages or when aftermarket spoilers are installed. The factory dampers lose pressure over time, causing the hatch to drop unexpectedly or refuse to stay open. This is not only inconvenient but also dangerous - a falling hatch can cause injury or damage. The P2M high-pressure dampers eliminate this problem, restoring reliable hatch operation and providing peace of mind.

Black Series Finish:

The sleek Black Series finish provides a clean, OEM-plus aesthetic that complements any 350Z build. The black coating is durable and resistant to corrosion, maintaining its appearance even in harsh weather conditions. The finish blends seamlessly with the 350Z's hatch area, providing a subtle upgrade that looks factory-installed.

Direct Bolt-On Installation:

The P2M dampers are designed as direct replacements for the factory units, using the same mounting points and included vehicle-specific brackets. No modifications or custom fabrication are required - simply remove the old dampers and bolt in the new ones. The straightforward installation makes this a perfect weekend DIY upgrade that can be completed with basic hand tools.

Perfect for Aftermarket Spoilers:

If you've installed or plan to install an aftermarket spoiler on your 350Z, these high-pressure dampers are essential. Popular spoilers like the Nismo V2, Voltex Type 7, APR GTC-300, and other large wings add significant weight to the hatch. Factory dampers simply cannot handle this extra weight, leading to sagging and unsafe operation. The P2M dampers are specifically designed to support these heavy aerodynamic components.
