Message	For 2+2's you'll need a stronger strut. This is one of the RARE times owning a Z that you'll find a part that is 100 times better, stronger and CHEAPER than OEM or any other aftermarket part. Many of us have it (I have 150lb ones that raise the trunk by itself, but are hard to shut...I don't mind). You'll probably want the 100lb ones. Anyway, head over to [ www.mcmaster.com ] and check out these part numbers: Qty Part No Price 4 9416k87 $2.25 13mm ball socket 4 9512k83 $1.13 13mm ball studs 1 9416K82 $3.13 package of 13 mm safety clips 2 9416k22 $14.46 13mm struts (the 100lb version is closest to stock) Order it all up and ship it to home. It's cake to put together...trust me :) Visit www.350zforum.com for all the latest information on the new Nissan 350Z!
