Re: Hood support springs/lift supports
Why? Gas struts rock. If they didn't go bad every few years, they'd be perfect. Buy a pair from Advance Auto, photocopy the receipt and keep it someplace safe. Lifetime warranty. When they start getting soft, take them in with the receipt and get a new pair.

Re: Hood support springs/lift supports
I was interested in dumping the gas struts for some of the old style ratchet style supports. The gas struts have a tendency of bowing the hood.
Unfortunately the ones I found are either too short or too long for our hoods.
