[QUOTE="Robert M, post: 15456740, member: 9628"] Ok, so when I first got interested in adding struts I shopped around and compared the different styles and looks. I bought the Red Lines but then was not sure if I wanted to drill and pop-rivet on my original Super Snake hood. So then I went the CPC direction, I ordered a pair, got them and installed them, all seemed well, they bolted on easy, blended in like oem and I was happy. Next thing I know, I am looking at something under the hood and the hood starts to ease down, I lift it back to the open position and then with just a small pull downward it would quickly fall. I was thinking, this would not be good for me let alone a person at a car show who is looking under the hood of my car. So, I called the vendor who sold them to me, they had no idea, and they contacted the maker of the CPC struts. They identified my struts as 70lbs and they had no idea why they did not work. They sent me a second set...........same thing, very dangerous in a breezy condition and/or at a car show. By now I had a direct contact at CPC, they said that they could increase the PSI in the struts to 90lbs and send me a set for testing purposes. I got the 90lb struts, installed them, and they have been on the car since that time. They work Great and CPC now sells a set specific for the Super Snake hood, so you will want the 90lb struts.
