Boot struts

**Ginge7289** · 23rd March 2011, 20:50

My boot struts are struggling with the extra weight of a rear spoiler, are there any upgraded versions to be had? For instance are the XP 2 struts or the VXR ones any better to compensate for the VXR spoiler they have fitted?

Can you attach some helium filled balloons to the spoiler?

posted that then thought it never used to be like that but they are 7 years old now so might be showing signs of wear

So new ones should be good lol.

£51 a pair inc. VAT 3 years ago. Replaced mine on my old Edition100, which had an Irmscher Rear Wing Spoiler. The extra weight of the spoiler was negligible IMO, and I replaced the originals like-for-like.

Changing them did make one hell of a difference though.
