DETAILED PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Classic Support: OEM Stabilus Trunk Strut Set for Early BMW Z3 Roadster
Don't let your Z3's trunk lid become a safety hazard. Over time, the internal seals on your factory struts fail, leading to a "heavy" trunk that slams shut without warning. Restore the original, effortless lift of your classic Roadster with the OEM Stabilus Trunk Strut Set.
Stabilus is the original manufacturer for BMW. Unlike generic aftermarket shocks that can be over-pressurized (making the trunk hard to close) or under-pressurized (failing to keep it open), these are specifically valved for the weight of the pre-facelift Z3 lid.
Product Benefits:
-
True OEM Fitment: Designed specifically for the early Z3 chassis (Pre-04/99).
-
Correct Pressure: Matches the factory-spec damping rates to prevent stress on your trunk hinges and latch.
-
German Engineering: Featuring Stabilus Lift-O-Mat technology for smooth, silent operation and a soft-stop at the top.
-
Instant Refresh: Replaces your tired, leaking struts in minutes with basic hand tools.
