Default Boot struts

Hi

My 90 B3 has clapped boot struts and the boot weighs several tons (apparently)

Bilstein do ones for the car without a boot spoiler whilst I can't find ones for a boot with a spoiler.

Do the Bilsrein ones hack it for a boot with spoiler?

Thanks!

I've got them on mine. I can't recommend them as they've had it after 2 years.

Lift-o-mat are the OEM ones

Strange, I put a set on our S2 Avant about 5 years ago and they're still going strong.... Did you contact them after they failed?
