Any recommendations?

Just replace the factory ones first, they might be weak. The weight of the dynamat should not keep them down. They are pretty strong once up. 51247148902

With Stabilus its a hit and miss. Ive bought a few pairs for different cars. While they do the job of lifting the trunk lid or hood, they do not slow down as they should. So imagine your trunk opening swiftly so it buckles when it reaches the top

I tried other brands like BOXI. They do the job. But its too soon for me to tell if they will last. However for $15 a pair, hey Im not complaining...yet
