Thanks! That's actually a lot less than what I was imagining. I guess I'll order a couple.

FYI... Pelican has both regular/turbo and cab shocks available - separate part #s and prices. They are listed as mfg by Stabilus.

Geolab,

You are an endless source of amazing knowledge! I checked for those holes on my 993, and noticed that in addition to two sets of holes in the strut mount in the engine bay, there are two sets of holes in the hinge arm itself. My struts really popped the lid open, more than I liked, until they calmed down after a year or so.

FWIW, here is the link to my article on replacing the struts. The car is my old 911SC, but the procedure and tools are the same: http://www.pelicanparts.com/techarti...hood_strut.htm
