Rear Hatch Lift Support Kit

If you're like me you've probably been hit on the top of your head by the rear hatch on a windy day, or parked on a hill, or maybe on perfectly level surface. This is especially common occurance in cold weather, as the gas in the pistons that are supposed hold the hatch up don't. They also lose air over time, and eventually need to be replaced.
I found a company on the Web advertising a replacement kit (complete kit) for the 350Z in 2 flavors. They have a standard version for a Z without a spoiler for $59.99 http://www.atomicmall.com/ Product ID=917371. And they have a Added Wing Upgrade version for $69.99 http://www.atomicmall.com/ Product ID=917377 for a Z with a spoiler. I'd recommend getting the Added Wing Upgrade, even if you don't have a spoiler, as the gas eventually leaks out, and this version comes with higher pressure and the company claims it will last longer.
Installation is a breeze. Just follow the simple instructions and you should be done in 15-20 minutes. And you don't have save any OEM parts to use in this installation.

I remember seeing a thread like this before, something about a cure for the droppage? I really need to get a set, but i want to get them from a trusted source.
