          Just missed your offer slightly !

          Could you kindly pick the manufacturer product code for these and inform here. Makes it easier to find these replacements.

          I suppose 320 N refers to amount in Newtons how much these can generate lift. 320 N = 32 kg.

            Standard is 280n I think,

            They don't list the 320n but may still be able to supply

                Just found out that Nissan Micra 2 K11 1992-2003 gas strut 290 N can be used as direct replacement for Z3 Coupe tailgate OEM part 280 N struts.

                Picked those up from local car part store very economically and installed them already to the car. Works perfectly. Luckily they do not carry any Nissan logo

                The second picture shows the new and original strut side by side. The OEM parts are made in USA ...

                    I can confirm that SGS do provide a good service and struts that fit the mc. Ordered them Tuesday. Arrived today. Fitted in a couple of minutes. Work fine. Cost me £41 for the pair including postage. Good service and the pointer to them was much appreciated. That's the good thing about this site, the in depth knowledge

                      Did you just order via the website selector or call them?

                      I need to get mine changed(I've been saying that to myself for 4 years), so I'm inspired now there's so much talk on the subject.

                        I phoned them up on Tuesday last week. Arrived Thursday morning. 5 minutes fitting and realise just how weak the originals had become.

                        thoroughly recommended. robert
