Don't know if this is the right section. I wonder if anybody happens to know what the LB rating of the trunk gas spring(i guess it would be called) for an 09 GTS? I know that they say 280N as the rating on them but it doesn't have a LB rating. The reason I ask is that I went to get stronger ones today so I don't keep scratching my bumper trying to fit my fingers under the lid and I don't like to lift by the spoiler, but the stores that have them only have them listed by the LB rating. Thanks for any help.

 

this is a really good question as I've been wondering the same thing for my trunk.

 

1 newton = 0.224808943 pounds force
280 N = 63 lb
There you go.
