You guys ever figure out the exact cause? I’m experiencing this as well but I don’t trust stealerships.

I daily drive about 60+ miles everyday. It’s actually not bad, the bigger tire up front definitely helps with clearance.

It won't rub. Just completed my square setup today. Swift Springs 10Jx19 Stock Wheels on all four corners (extra set of rear tires placed in front) 12mm F / 15mm R Spacers 275/35/19 - Michelin Pilot Sport AS4

Glad to see this thread still active. Sorry for any replies I didn't see, life just kind of happened. Happy to report 8 months later, this mod still works great.

I found some 16mm x 100mm die spring options for you if you don't want to wait. Dimensions are the same and the max load is around 45lbs per spring which is plenty. Option 1 - Qty. 5 Option 2 - Qty. 2

When you initially install, like my video, it seems a bit forceful/jerky. It’s because the strut and spring are new and haven’t settled. (The trunk has a long range of motion, which allows for additional vertical movement, so the jiggling/vibrating you see in the video isn’t really harming...

Sorry guys, don’t know what happened. Fixed the links in the original post. Don’t click the ones in the quotes. :)

fixed the link. It’s just optional spring in lieu of the main one.

Update for y’all. Here are specs of my final solution. The shaking at the end isn't as rough as the video shows. It will pretty much go away once the struts and springs settle in. Specs below: Struts Springs (Required Qty. 2) Other Optional Springs in lieu of (Required Qty. 4) Washers - M8...

The regular spring I bought had the near exact specs as the spring you bought. I’m guessing my strut is different length than yours because even with the trunk near closed, the strut isn’t even close to compressing the spring. In the video, you can see how much length I needed just to get a good...

An update. The yellow die spring diameter was too small for my strut (even though specs said otherwise). The blue die spring was perfect but still too short to compress despite the longer length. The regular spring was strong but too short as well. Given how hot it’s been in Texas (100+) and...

Keep us updated! Godspeed.

I got my numbers done from @Jesse DaBears recently and the Supra pulls strong. Very happy. I do about 65 miles daily, (mainly highway), in this triple digit Texas heat. Car is super quick and I still average 23MPG. On weekends, I do a lot of pulls and spirited driving. No CEL. MST v2 intake, AA...

Yea the Home Depot springs are too weak to force the trunk open. The green die spring I originally bought was strong but too short. I haven’t found anywhere locally that carries the specific spring and weight capacity that Andrew found nor did I find it on Amazon. (Didn’t want to wait on eBay...

Just to update. The 97lb struts work fine, but you still need to assist a bit. However, the same “jiggle” once fully extended still happens, but playing with the different spring combinations seemed to alleviate it a bit. Amazon delivered only 1/2 springs…so I went to Home Depot to see if some...

glad it worked out!!

Delivery will be tomorrow through Amazon. I’ll update then.

I have these two in my cart and will probably get some washers from Home Depot or see if someone has some laying around. I went with higher duty spring and some 97lb struts. Watching Andrew's video, seemed like 120lb was still a bit much (end of video, the trunk was jiggling). Hopefully my...

Think I may have found it a la Tesla Model 3 owners. Andrew, could you possibly try this on your strut to see if it assists in opening? (eBay) Tesla Model 3 Die Spring (13mm diameter) (eBay) Tesla Model 3 Die Spring (US Seller) (13mm diameter) (Amazon) 2.36"/60mm Die Spring (Prime) (16mm...

The solution should be pretty close to fruition. The struts pretty much launch the trunk open after some help.
