Vr vs boot strut difference

[bj42turbo]

hey just wondering if you have any pictures of the gas struts in the VR/VS Sedan ... Just as i am trying to convert my VN so it has gas struts

I tried doing this to my VN using VR VS struts but mounted differently.....But when the boot opened it opened with so much force the boot nearly ending up on the bonnet.....

Tried with just one strut but boot opened crooked

Could work but would need to get custom struts made up with less power

Having said that, now that I have replaced the oem VN springs it still opens with quite abit of force..

okay thanks guys.. cause i have tried installing them and i have got the right gas struts.. and i have put them in but when i close the boot lid... .. the boot right near the rear windscreen is raised.. so their for is not sealed.... and u have got quite a big gap.. sooo i am really out of ideas LOL ... thats why i really need some he

also if any1 has pictures of where they have mounted it in their vn boot that would be great as that would give me a more detailed information in regards to where i have to mount them properly ay

my old clubsport hasd the wing replaced by an s pac boot lip

the lower weight of the small lip made my boot open so easy.

id pull the lever and it would open right up all on its on...was awesome!!

yep sure did, hence why I gave up and got hold of the original boot springs...........From what I understand where I located it, is the same spot as the VN Group A's but obviously there boot lid is a lot heavier because of the large spoiler...
