trunk shocks
I bought them at Auto Zone and they work great. There is one for "with Spoiler" and one for "without." If you search, there is a good message on these forums on the installation. Very easy, but there are some quirks that you need to know about.

I just posted some info on this in the "great deals" section of the forum. You can go to either nvoconcepts.com and get trunk OR hood struts with your desired level of pressure (for spoilers and those without) or you can try Rock Auto (do a Google search). Both are excellent sources for all your strut needs 
dwebb, I just spent the last 2 weeks installing and removing and reinstalling these trunk struts so if you have a question don't hesitate to ask, but if you do a search you'll also find the answers to your questions. Good luck.
p.s. nvo allows you to specify your desired pressure level from 10lbs. to over 100lbs., just in case you want to use your trunk as a catapult

Ken, I thought you said K&E sold them for like $30 each?? That's not the best price we can get these for. They should be no more than $25 each. I paid $40 flat for both of mine.

Usually it's only one strut that needs replacing, the load is too much for the other working strut so it makes it seem as if they've both failed. If you're tight on money then just get one and test both sides to see which has less pressure, then buy another single strut when that older one goes out. I just replaced them both because at the time I didn't know any better, plus mine were the originals which were over 12 years old so I figured they were shot anyway. Next up is hood strut replacement.
