carbon fiber trunk hydraulic pressure?

anyone here have a carbon fiber trunk and use after market hydraulics to hold up the trunk? If so what type are they? and what pressure is it? i know that the stock hydraulics are too much for the carbon fiber trunk being that it is a little bit lighter and somewhat flexible. Any info would be much appreciated.

thanks

i just bought the shocks from napa, they only had 1 in stock and the second should be there 2mmorrow morning. by the looks of it the shock is thinner then the stock ones so it should work.

updates and pics will be up 2mmorrow
