Default Aftermarket Trunk Shocks for Heavy Spoiler

Hey guys, i have a Nismo V2 spoiler and my OEM shocks are dead. I need to replace them with aftermarket ones so it can hold the weight of the V2 spoiler. What aftermarket shocks do you guys recommend? Couldn't find anyone selling them in classified..

Z1 sells the OEM NISMO edition's upgraded struts which should help to keep the hatch up better than the standard OEM's:

Some of the ones on the market turn your hatch into a super baby launcher. I have that version , works great when you only use one of them. I got it from a friend after he bent the hatch mounts. Traded him one of my worn struts for it.

I got a stage 3 for my stillen wing.. They work good so far. You just have to reuse the stock metal bracket which is the hard part on getting off. Or you can probably buy new brackets through nissan.
