ManwithSupra Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 Now i know you can get these for other cars but i have never seen a soop with these installed. I think they are a good idea cos the weight of the bonnet on 1 arm when its up makes the whole thing kinda twist a bit...i have always been wary of that anyone have bonnet lifters installed or know where i can get some ? P.s its not chavy is it ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Dublin Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 You should be able to get unversal ones, once you know the weight/pressure (?) rating they need to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz Walker Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 My Aristo has them factory fitted. AFAIK Top Secret are the only company do a set that are a bolt on to the Supra, although with a little fettling, nearly all should fit. Even the £40 ones off Ebay. Gaz.

Rob Dublin Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 Choose carefully if you go for universal ones... a bonnet on the back of the noggin while refilling your washer bottle is sure to be unpleasant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 Someone at last years JAE was selling them on the Supra site. His was Silver i belive, but thats all i can remeber He had them mounted on both sides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supRo Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 I think it was Tein who do them as well - cheaper than Top Secret?? Try contacting these people....maybe get some prototyped and then a group buy! I was going to do this but I was too lazy: hello, my new struts were fitted saturday, and are working great , tailgate lifts smoothly on its own . the company who ive been working with are now happy to provide new struts to members. the price of the struts is £89.30, including vat and p+p back to you. you will however have to take your old ones off and send them to the company as they need the ends for re fabrication , it was the easyiest way around fixing . the company is M S engineering, 5 the graylins, bedford, mk 41 9bh phone 01234 772255 ask for mike thanks peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure TS's prices have come down for the Supra struts? http://www.topsecretjpn.com/bonnetdamper.shtml Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
