And only do one side at a time! I think I got my new struts from Wilkinson some years ago when he was having a sale. Easy-peasey to change out for the originals.

Only issue I found with the Detomaso 18126A is that it took quite a bit of pressure to close my decklid and when I measured the strength of one strut years ago I believe just one strut alone was something like 150 lbs until it began to compress when pressing on it. So I took them both off and saved them for my winged car but didn't use them yet. My personal thought is the strength should just be enough to allow you to guide the decklid open or close with one or two fingers and it stays open rather than falling.
