So there are a few posts here on bonnet lifts on how to fit them.
I have a set for my carbon bonnet but they're rusted as hell from rain. Can anyone recomend a set of struts which won't rust? |

The only company I know of that makes bonnet lifts for our cars is SokieTech. I plan on grabbing a set in the near future.

Can anyone recomend a set of struts which won't rust? Can you provide the dimensions on those? I'd like to see if there are other options out there. |

the rusty part unscrews.
Sand it and paint it. -------------------- |

I'll measure it over the weekend. The rusted part is the shaft it self and ball joint cap. Brakets are painted and bolts are SS and thy're still good.
