There was someone on here trying to do what you are saying by replacing the air struts with something stronger. Do some searching and maybe you'll find more info.

In my 2IS, the rubber seal seals the trunk so well. The seal itself is want is causing the trunk lid from fully coming open, even them new replacement struts. Not sure if stronger struts would help the seal "issue".
