Anyone in here use the sico developments gas bonnet strut?

If so can anyone tell me the rating of the strut/how powerful it is?

I got mine from Dark Ice Designs, mine are on my focus but they do a set for the fez too. They are powerful and once you get to about the half open position they will do the rest of the job for you. They hold the bonnet steady and I have no worries with my head under it that they may give, there are two in the set which I think you would need to do the lifting but once it is open 1 is enough to hold the bonnet up, so in the event one failed you would still be safe.

 

 Fiesta lifting kit

I've ordered mine but they are on the way to Greece still. As soon as i get them fitted i 'll let you know.. I guess next week i 'll have them.. 

If it's the kit with one strut I'd say to avoid, it pushes the bonnet out of line and it can be pain to re align.

ive now got the dark ice kit which has 2 struts, it doesn't have any issues with the bonnet alignment, at the moment in the low temps they do lift the bonnet ok but don't feel that strong.

Hey guys, think I should of been a bit clearer

I've been speaking to dark ice designs and purchased the kit without the struts as I think the kit would prob work better with stronger struts

To get an idea of what strength struts to buy I wondered what is used in the sico developments kit

The dark ice kit has 2 160n struts so 320n total but what's the one in the sico kit as that will make it easier choosing struts for the dark ice kit...

So just the 2 brackets for each side, with the ‘balls’ on them?

Pretty much

So are all the brackets interchangeable? I wouldn’t have thought all the cups would be a universal size but I’m not basing that on anything other than a guess lol
