        SGS couldn't? I just ordered through their vehicle select system.

          S54 Black / Imola. S50 Titan / Black. And some bits from Stuttgart.

            I fitted these struts a couple of years ago and can remember a couple of issues,some people found that the hatch was going a tad too far,solution was to to get shorter ends,and yes they do seem a bit keen to lift the hatch,,,however they do slow down a bit given time a great improvement over OEM.

              Just fitted after SGS delivered within 48 hours. The standard listed rear MC ones from SGS (320n) and my car now has that pleasing whoosh back when opening.

              As above comments, if I’m being critical they do open up the hatch to it’s very limit, but not in a harsh way and will over time, soften up.

              It’s just great to be able to hold the boot in a half position now and not have it slam down!

              Highly recommended.
