Best door struts...

[painterdave72]

I need a new set and was wondering if anyone had bought the ones from Delorean go?? I much rather have the ones that soft lift near the end.. also what about the ones dpi sells??

I installed the ones from Hervey 5 years ago. They opened up smoothly during those years but now I see they are starting to fail. Maybe that is a realistic lifespan I don’t know.

I have the DeLorean Go struts and would recommend them, they have a nice braking action towards the end of the travel. Here is a video taken shortly after installing them in June 2017, outside temperature was around 77 degrees F.



For reference, I have used the following on my car over the years;
DMCH struts (doors/louvres/hood) - came with the car but were already 5 years old at that point (car purchased Oct 2010)
John Hervey/Special T Auto 'Soft Lift' struts - circa Jan 2011 (these were not failing when replaced in 2013, but I didn't like the way one had developed a habit of moving in a fore/aft movement!)
DMCEU struts - circa May 2013 - these however never lifted my doors to full extension
DeLoreanGo struts - fitted June 2017 - I made a follow up purchase several months later and bought a set of DeLoreanGo louvre and hood struts so am now running a full set.

They are holding up well so far, even with winter temps of 35 degrees F.

I've used Rob Grady's door struts for I believe over a decade. Grady's latest door struts that I received open the door with good force up until it is near the end where it then dampens the opening efforts to a nice calm stop at the end of travel. It doesn't take forever for the door to come up and it also doesn't end in a severe stop where the whole car shakes.

I've always had the best luck with Stabilus struts. My torsion bars seem to be set to work best with Stabilus. Looks like that's what Houston is using.

Depends on the shipping option selected, but typically it is 2 days to anywhere in the US (lighter low value orders about 1 week if that is the shipping option you select) - the site will give you various options depending on the value and weight of the order.

Also available in stainless : https://www.deloreango.com/us/stainl...gas-strut.html
