I haven't had decklid shocks on my GT5 in my 12 years of ownership! Each and every oen I tried forced the decklid to catch the lip of the roof, Id id purchase the IPSCO relocation shock kit (via Scott at SACC), just haven't gotten around to fitting them yet..... I think that was at least 3 years ago!

Jack - Mike said it implicitly, but I'll say it explicitly. The decklid, with no shocks, is REALLY heavy. So be prepared for it - broomstick or likewise. You won't be able to just hold it in place with a pinky finger when you disconnect the shocks.

Jack,
A broomstick in the middle is a good idea as a backup. Remove one top bolt first, wiggle the top of the shock out to the rear, rest the decklid on the broomstick aided by the other shock. Remove the bottom bolt and remove the shock. Install the new one at the bottom first, raise it into position, raise or lower the decklid slightly to line up the top bolt and tighten them down.
Then repeat on the other side.
Cheers!
Mike
