Are the SACH ones just as good as steady lifts? I have a spoiler and the trunks hit me on the head a couple of times.
I'm not worried about the prices, I'm just looking for one that would lift up the trunk with a spoiler.

Has anyone used the SACHS on a trunk with a spoiler? This is for my 1993 SC400. I want to ensure they work right before I waste money on something that won't work.

TIA!

* When someone places an order at www.rockauto.com and enters your discount code
on the "Please tell us how you heard about us" line of the shopping cart, he or
she will receive an immediate 5% discount on that order.
* The discount code expires on November 30, 2002; so don't
wait!
I guess this discount code expired already..
My trunk start falling on my head
Which brand is good? Sachs($16.47) or AC DELCO($17.28 w/spoiler, $19.01 no spoiler)?

For the '93 SC300 it's Sach's number SG429002 - $16.47 ea.

If you order from the Lexus dealer they're $130 ea.

If you are ordering from Rockauto.com then just go to their site and browse to find the part. After you get to your model and year it's under BODY - EXTERIOR.
