Default Hood Shock?

My left good shock just lost it's cookies and the right is just around the corner. I was curious what brand the GPO has given the most success and longevity here. Pelican has about five different types but original Porsche is out of my budget. Any ideas would be appreciated.

37, I don't remember what brand I used but a word of caution is needed here. When replacing the struts be VERY careful when raising the hood, It will break your windshield if raised too far.

I have used Stabilus, seem to work well. IIRC, they are the OEM vendor.

Thanks 931! I'll pass that one along. First for a Porsche redneck!
