I put a Wings West whaletail spoiler on my CRX, and now the hatch won't stay up. I know the shocks/lift supports are good because they worked fine before I put the spoiler on.

Does anyone know if you can buy a stronger shock than what they sell at Autozone or Advance? I thought about buying hatch shocks or even hood shocks made for another car that has a heavier trunk/hood than mine, but I'm not sure what will fit.

Please help.

 

you might wanna buy some new ones.........when i installe ukdm spoiler same thing happened just bought some new ones from honda and everything was ok

 

I bought new honda struts and they work fine

 

If you decide to get some because of a heavier hatch, go with the more expensive Honda ones...they are much stronger lifting than the ones you'll find for $20 at the auto-parts store.

I can't imagine them being stronger than the ones I got at Auto-zone. they practically throw the hatch up as soon as you unlock it!!! Just one of them was enough to hold the hatch up on it's own! The Honda ones are most likely better quality and longer lasting though.
