I got the heavy duty hatch struts from Z1 Performance. The look good and work great. They squeak a bit when new, but put a bit of oil on them and there good.

He's not BS'ing you. And to the three above me. Usually a good idea to have a clue before you post.

i know man i was reading and going wow we got some f'ing idiots here. We have a vendor that sells them but not sure who it is. yup z1 i guess good luck OP and dont take anything personal we treat all the noobs the same way stick around and you will be noob pwning in no time

Takes 10 minutes, a wrench, a friend (to hold up the hatch), and a case of beer.

Moderators.....this should probably be in the exterior/interior section not brakes/suspension. The OP is looking for the rear hatch struts.

Guess I'll throw my question in here also. Anyone had issues with their struts using the Blitz spoiler? I would think not as it's a pretty light unit, but I haven't got mine on yet to try.
