Thread: Trunk struts for SLP spoiler?

Ok, the stock struts on my 00 GT have been done for some time now and the Gen I SLP spoiler doesn't seem to help the situation any. I'm tired of my decklid trying to kill me everytime I open it.

I thought I saw somewhere on here where there was a stronger strut for this car but can't find it.

If there is an upgrade for this someone please let me know, if not then I'll just grab new replacement ones and hope it holds it open. Either that or I'm going to come up with a locking mech. for one of the hinges.

No one has anything on this? New stock struts, some other GM car strut, Ranchos, Bilsteins...

Cool, works for me. Thanks Scotty.

Did you ever find a good replacement? I have the SLP Gen 1 spoiler and have the same problem. Factory trunk lid struts are pretty weak now being 20 years old. I tried some from a junkyard Grand Prix GXP, but they were a bit too long unfortunately.

No I haven't actually. It was put on the backburner for another project shortly thereafter. Think when I get paid next week I'm just going to order new stock ones from RockAuto and see how well they hold this heavy thing up.
