i need new or newish hood pistons too. mine are in decent condition, however they're not strong enough to hold up those heavy hoods. how strong do the pneumatics need to be?

I got mine from O'reiley's

Fronts $18 ea
Rears $31 ea

Nearly 2 years, rear opens completely as soon at the relase it hit
Hoods are getting weakish in the last 1-2" of being open but still holds it great

I replaced both sets as soon as I bought the car in Jan' 02, and the hood struts are already failing. Probably from being opened and closed so many times during the engine swap.
