Do you know where to buy replacements for them? They just do not hold up my rear hatch with the rear wing installed

Rob x-7 12-29-2002 09:11 PM

auto parts stores sell the struts.

94FD 12-29-2002 09:12 PM

Is it a direct switch or do I need to do some modifications?

Rob x-7 12-29-2002 09:29 PM

when you go to the store they will have a catalog, it may specify with or without spoiler, if there is no choice then what they list will work fine.

No love fromt he auto stores...they all say...well we can order an OEM one. What do you all think? How much can OEM ones hold up?

Rob x-7 01-05-2003 07:26 PM

some shitty auto parts stores you got there, lol



Im sure the OEM ones can hold, wasnt a spoiler an option?

Rob x-7 01-05-2003 07:27 PM

You didnt go confusing the numb nut at the store by telling him you had a

RX-7 and bolted a spoiler on it and so on did you? He probably got cross eyed and gave the generic answer "its a dealer part"

Rob x-7 01-05-2003 07:44 PM

The brand that sells those struts just came to me, Motormite if Im not mistaken.

this is a problem where cost is a factor. I don't know how much the OEM ones cost but if they are cheap then get them. Then you at least know it wont be a pain putting them in. Why did they break any how? Is your wing really heavy?

Rob x-7 01-05-2003 08:12 PM

they just snap in, every car has the same design, boats use them as well.

94FD 01-05-2003 09:37 PM

Yeah...the wing is pretty heavy...it is a GTR style wing that a friend got at NOPI.
