Where to buy new winged-hatch shocks?

[AGlobalThreat]

I currently have the hatch shocks with the green stickers, my car was wingless from the factory. I want to buy NEW hatch shocks that hold up a winged hatch. I figure I can order them from Jeff Watson @ Champion, but is there a cheaper place to get them? Anybody have any known part numbers for some that will be reliable and hold up my hatch? Or am I better off calling Champion?

Sachs from rockauto.com

I sent them to IJ in AUST, and it's working just swell for him.

<nodding> 100% perfect!

They have a really nice damper stage at the end of the opening so you lift the hatch 6" then let it go up by itself and there's no CLUNK at the end.

i have sachs hood struts, they work great. open the hood 2" and up, up, and away! :biglaugh:

+1 for sachs. you can get them anywhere, if you prefer not to go with rockauto, you can order them through autozone, advance, etc

My Hood struts don't do the damper thing though

Wow... I think this is the only time I'll ever have Ian one-upped on ANYTHING :biglaugh:

Mine are Sachs they just don't slow down at the end of the travel like the rears do (lift it an 6" and it rises by itself just with a clunk at the end)

Ahh... damn you Ian, had to ruin my moment... :cry:

Part number for the Sachs fronts & rears anyone? Maybe I'd could find something for me here in Germany...

Thanks

Thanks, Zumtizzle.

While I don't mind the clunk, I have some credit at Rock Auto I need to use up, so these are perfect. Soon I'll be clunkless with the best of y'all.
