Ages ago CAMP914 did trunk strut kits, but has anyone sourced the parts or re-engineered these things? After removing those evil torsion bar/springs last night and having a prybar whistle past my head, I'd really love to be done with those things forever.

Thanks.

I did this many years ago. In fact, the Camp914 kit was based on my install.

It's been 20 years and i don't remember any of the part numbers. They were from a 911 though. I did both the front and rear trunk on my car back then.

PS: There might be an old thread here, should be from around 2006 ish.

Thanks. Yeah, this thread appears to have the recipe.
