Auto boot strut springs

[vdt]

Anyone know the size of the springs I need for the 8PA to 'auto' open?
Found some on ebay but they range from £20+ for a pair of springs, rather get some from aliexpress for around £5 if I can.

Thanks

Do you want to do the mod cheap or do it right? Cheap equates to damage hence the lower price. Doing it right equates to long term happiness and thus less cheap

You need stronger struts too, yours could be 18 years old

Will be using as a temporary mod, with new struts. If it doesn't hold right, I'll invest in the 'real' ones.

Other than emerald struts, are there any alternatives? thanks

These are the kit from ebay, been on about 3 years now. They are just starting to lose a bit of force, but still opens up.

That is for the springs and bump stops only, not the new struts
