boot lifter spring pressure.

[jack-p]

Is the 3sfe spring that supports the boot when you open it a different pressure rating to one from a later car with a spoiler?


The reason I ask is because when I changed from a factory spoiler to aftermarket the aftermarket one was considerably lighter and the spring pushed the boot up.

I now have no spoiler on my car and no spring but would ideally like to have one because it's a right pain in the ar$e holding the boot open all the time!

yes it has a lower pressure spring to compensate for the lack of weight of a spoiler on the 3SFE.

I've no spoiler on my car, and just removed the boot spring to avoid the boot lid flying open when the lever is pulled.

Yes.

Thought as much, better keep an eye out for a 3sfe breaking then.

I did the same but I'm getting a little sick of holding the boot open with my head so I can get both hands in!

Try TCB, I'm sure that's where I got mine from when I despoiled.
