Gas Bonnet Struts D.I.Y
www.buymeacoffee.com/fordyford
I installed some gas bonnet struts on Zippy! Late to this party.
I found some Dark Ice Design bonnet struts in stock in Australia for a bit cheaper than if I had bought them from overseas, so thought why not.
Install was pretty straight forward, just don't forget to use the washers. All in all, less than hour. Anyone could do this, make sure you have 2 10mm spanners, or 1 and a 10mm deep socket, T30 torx bit and a phillips head screwdriver.

    Where did they get standard? 0 to 60 in 7.2? I’ve had 0 to 60 in 6.4 in my stock ST.😂 And standard whilst on boost you get 200 BHP anyway I’m having it stage one mapped next week should be awesome👍

    Would you recommend this? I have the same car on mountune m310 and mountune springs. I like them and have been on 7 years but the rears are corroded. After looking at other springs I feel the only ones to replace are mountune again as they are the lowest ones without being too low / harsh and I have never had any issue with scraping arches etc I was thinking mountune springs again and at somepoint the b8 shocks to go with but on some images they seem to sit higher (maybe from the increased strength) After lots of research I'm thinking to change to these. As they are Bilstein and adjustable so should be able to be as low if not lower than mountune springs and maybe a better ride? As somebody who has done this EXACT change in setup what is your thoughts? Is it worth it? Or would you still be more than happy on the mountune springs paired with the standard damper

    • @fordyford

      It's been a life changer tbh. Aussie roads are pretty terrible at the best of times going to the Bilstein setup has improved it massively. I'd hate to have to go back to the stock shocks and springs or stock shocks and aftermarket springs. They suit me a hell of a lot better.

Do they feel firmer than just the mountune springs?

    How do I access other setup modes to get to the power off option ?

      I'll have to recap but it'll be in the system settings. It's a set and forget thing so I did it once, haven't had to go back and do it since.
