Cheers! Shame I have no way of knowing what the force of those struts are... Also that's the issue tbh... Getting something to move the boot the first few inches before the struts kick in... I went for the smallest springs I could find and they create a gap in the boot lid when I close it... And they're not even big enough to assist the opening of the boot!
