The rollers are evil. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)

Get Craig's rear trunk shock kit. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif)

I currently have a bad roller on my trunk that still works but poorly. I was messing with the spring system to try and fix it...I GOT SCARED... forget that whole system.

Quick phone call to Craig at camp914 and $40 and a couple days later I had some shocks for the rear trunk.

I think its the way to go.
