Nice vid as always! Thanks to you I had the pleasure of driving a Mk2 ST aswell for roughly a year. Sold it recently for a Mk3 RS and I gotta say I miss that 5 pot a little but I don't regret it!
Bought a pair of these for my golf gti mk 7.5. Installation was easy but almost impossible to close at first,when i finally got tailgate to close for first time i noticed that the tailgate was all out of align.Had to take to a bodyshop and thet said one of the hinges was slightly bent.Emerald struts didn't want to know!!my advice is save your money and open your tailgate manually.
I actually have a new boot strut to fit. Had a rattle for at least 6 months that I couldn't find. Managed to find that it was the boot strut. These would be perfect on my Mk2.5 ST. Trying to open the boot with just 1 strut is quite heavy.
Just got my MK2 Focus ST 3 weeks ago. Your videos have given me much inspiration on mods and given me back my passion for Fast cars. Keep up the great content George. And the videos with Owen are brilliant mate. Good addition to your channel. Oh and are you selling the GCM stickers yet? 👍👍
I got me set of these a bit ago. For my ST3 .I do have to be a little American here it’s a hatch. How did it ever start being called a boot for y’all? But back to the shocks very well made. I get a lot of wow looks when the hatch gos up w/no hands.
Shame they don’t do them for the Astra K. Maybe I’m being a little thick but how can they bypass the boot lock ? Because on my car I’d still need to press the button lock/unlock on the actual boot lip before it opened. It’s not just a simple matter of pressing the key fob.
Hi could you do a tiktok or reply with an answer on here i got a question Basically i installed new sweeping indicators on my side mirrors, they been wired and programmed in so basically when u open the doors it turns on as blue, but when you close the doors the lights shut off, so it would be legal to drive with them, and if you use your indicators they work as orange not blue, blue only turns on when the car is stationary and the doors are open, I know its illegal to have any blue lights on the car while driving, but when stationary I’m not breaking any laws right? So my question, is my new sweeping indicators legal or not?
Nice idea. Ridiculously overpriced for what is essentially a gas strut with a coloured spring on the end. At best they should cost no more than £40 delivered.
I've Just installed some of these on my Focus mk4 They are great so far! Now I can flex on people in Asda's car park XD The only thing I'm not sure on is the pins. The top ones go in fine but the bottom ones don't seem to go in properly but I don't think they are going to be coming off anytime soon.
I had them on my m135i and when I closed my boot. I noticed they made my boot rub where they push down so hard. They’ve damaged all of my boot lip and rear bumper
As a panel beater these automatic opening boots/tailgates are possibly the biggest pain in the arse in my trade. Granted these seem to open a lot faster than factory fitted versions... But unless you're handicapped I see literally no purpose for these besides pure laziness. Each to their own but personally I say spend your money on something worthwhile for your car.
@@GCMYT I fully agree about the honesty part. When the mk3s started failing he offered to replace the struts or give full refunds with no hassle what so ever
I am worried about the enormous strain and stress the mounts are being put into. Also the boot will get warped i guess. Other than that it is a cool mod i would like to fit to my car if it wasn't for what i just said😂
how have you got them all ready, ony got the email saying that they are in stock, could of save myself 10% if I saw your video first, o well never mind. my boot Struts have gone, boot keeps smacking me in the head.😂
Exactly what I did on my mk6 golf...2 compression springs off aliexpress £1.60 each.....2 years later and still working like they day I installed them 😀
You're not alone. I've had their adverts flooding my feed for ages, and got hopeful that they were finally doing them for the 350z (as the struts and the boot poppers always, always go on them) after seeing "Any car" in the title.
Nice vid as always!

Been waiting forever for these.
Got a notification when they launched them but were already sold out. Not seen any more since then 😄
Ahhh, now they are up for sale.

When you said there would sell out quick you weren't kidding already sold out
Sarah they go live at 7pm. They haven’t even gone up yet. Be patient
@@GCMYT got it. 👍
Bro I look every other week and they always seem to sell outrageously quickly
Hi bud, do u have a vid on how to install a mk2 rs spoiler
Would love to buy some for my Honda Civic 2015 i-dtec does any one know where we get similar struts from please
I would love a set of these but I have an mk1 and it doesn't look like they make them yet

Where did you get those rear lights?
Is it for Ford Focus Mk2 VfL before 2007 too?
my 2006 Honda accord opens and closes via the remote so hardly new

The art of supply and demand. If the public (morons) don't buy, the price would come down.
Just find a strong gas strut. The video is helpful but buy something else
They warp your boot over time
@@vinny03 Yeh I've seen the damage these can cause. Big no no
aye bro, where did you get the rear diffuser?
It was quickly sold out but i‘m still waiting since 1 month for new. When Are new aviable?
Can't seem to find any for my 2013 hyundsi ix35.
Need to do a mk3 estate strut
It then goes and causes damage to the mounting points due to the Increased pressure. Seen mounting points prized off
Have you had any troubles with them . People saying it worps the boot . I really want some for my car

How have they held up?
@cecil4485 So far they have been quite good they have started to get a little weaker now so it's easier to close the boot
@Matt-di6nb any warping and dints where you close the boot from?
Do these work on a normal mk2 focus?
I need one for my gti MK 8!
cool
Hi there where is the site we can purchase from please
Just incase anyone wants to save money it’s very easy to add springs to old struts plenty videos on UA-cam
Something like that would fit any mk2

I had these for a short time in my 1 series BMW but didn't like the fact that the boot was really hard to close with those springs lol
They soften up over time :) mine are fine now :)
I had them on my m135i and when I closed my boot. I noticed they made my boot rub where they push down so hard. They’ve damaged all of my boot lip and rear bumper
Would fit any mk2 focus 👍🏻
Yes buddy :)

Have these been tested better than the mk3s? Don't really want to start bending my mounting brackets...
So far so good on mine :) I’m happy with them :) he’s very honest too. Any problems he’s happy to sort. That gives me confidence :)
@@GCMYT I fully agree about the honesty part. When the mk3s started failing he offered to replace the struts or give full refunds with no hassle what so ever
No mk2 estate version though 😞
Whats wrong with opening the boot normally
I am worried about the enormous strain and stress the mounts are being put into. Also the boot will get warped i guess. Other than that it is a cool mod i would like to fit to my car if it wasn't for what i just said😂
How to order emerald struts?
Do the struts not go other way round?
no oem one are the same
U say any car but I’ve not seen them for a mk4 Seat Ibiza fr modified one
Где молно заказать?
น่าสนซื้อมาติดตั้ง
Link ?👀
handsome boy
Been known to cause boot to twist.
just a standard strut with a die spring on it.
Do they only fit ford cars .?
As the title states. Fits on any car :) check his website and use my code GCM ;)
Just hope they dont get stuck and sieze up like some have said ...
They're sold out :(
Buckle your boot in time bad them on mine
how have you got them all ready, ony got the email saying that they are in stock, could of save myself 10% if I saw your video first, o well never mind. my boot Struts have gone, boot keeps smacking me in the head.😂
Product testing and advertising buddy. I’ve been pressing him for these for ages haha :) defo should have saved some money watching it first haa
R makes sense
check your batteries on your key fob, probably low af
If you’re missing some chromosomes I’ve got an extra one I could give you 😂
😂😂😂😂😂 please
I def wouldn’t install these. It means the hinges/boot catch is under constant pressure when closed.
cheap ? cost 120 dollars did the same on my 300c for like 15 dollars 😅
Yeah i rather just buy 2 springs and 2 washers for like £5 max. Not going to spent £90 for the same effect lol
Exactly what I did on my mk6 golf...2 compression springs off aliexpress £1.60 each.....2 years later and still working like they day I installed them 😀
I did it last week 2 springs 2 rubber washers £16 job done

@@whatsdavedone104 was going to but I was impatient so got them off ebay and had them in 2 days lol
"on any car" well they don't have one for my Porsche 924 :(
If there is a demand for them he will produce them :) I guess a rare car like yours isn’t as commonly requested haha

JUST MORE CRAP TO BREAK LOL I PURPOSELY DIDN'T GET THIS AS A FACTORY OPTION

Sounds like you’re the one who’s been bullied mate
Buy a quality car that comes standard
