James;
I replaced my trunk shocks with aftermarket units I bought from the dealer.
I can't say which brand they were, but they do not work as well as the OEM
struts. On cold days (-20 or so) they are very stiff and it's hard to open
the trunk. They also have a dead spot at the end of the travel with
significantly reduced damping. They did not look OEM - the ball joint ends
are different than the OEM units.

I figure this might be a long shot in asking... but anyone have
experience with replacing sedan trunk stuts with Meistersatz or
Stabilus-Boge and if so which would you recommend? I want to replace my
trunk struts (shock), and there are two brands available: Meistersatz
and Stabilus-Boge. I think the Stabilus-Boge is OEM, it sure looks it.
Cheers, /Jamu.
