Default Suspa?
Are these the Stabilis, are they the Suspa c16-089141 or another equivalent ?
What is the force on them? I am in need of a pair so your posting has perfect timing.
Thanks for keeping us posted.

They are for the Suspa ones like Mike found earlier in this thread. I just got off the horn with him and got a one year positive PIREP!!!

Get them while they are hot!!!

Default 28# struts
I bought a pair of the Suspa 28# on Amazon as Mike found. Much better performance with a little extra spring pressure than the stock ones. They have been on for over a year and 150 hrs with no issues.

At the time they were about $65C on Amazon.ca (Canada). I ordered through Amazon.com and had them at my door for about $32C ...FWIW for any CDN's looking to do the same.

Otis, that is even better! The problem is I'm not an Amazonian. I have to pay the extra dollar for the part but there is no annual subscription to prime. So it goes!

Al, this is the link I ordered from last year. $14.86US plus $7.45US shipping and import fees paid in advance. They arrived in about a week if I recall, with no further duties/taxes to pay. ~$22US all-in.

Default Ordered
Thanks Rob, I had found that site but I was ordering
2 sets not two struts so that is why I was not getting the right price. I just ordered them now using your link but only one set.
Thx again for the help
