Hi all,

One of the tension springs in my boot has snapped so now trying to get anything out of the boot is like fighting with an angry crocodile!! If you don't get limbs out of the way quick enough, you are going to lose something!
It got me wondering, is there an aftermarket option out there to add gas struts to open the boot?
Has anyone done this before?

Why not just replace the existing torsion bars??

Ask Matty he has loads. He breaks loads of STI's

Thanks both and Yeah it may be the only option. I was just looking into alternative and curious to see if anyone else has done it.

Ebay lists various boot struts , maybe buy a cheap pair and have a play , i know people have converted other cars from the subaru bar to struts no reason the boot could not be the same
