I have had the bonnet dampers for a couple of years.
They give better access to the engine bay.
Everytime I open the bonnot on the missus car I wonder why it doesn't automatically rise.
Need to get a set for her car.

cant say i have any issue at all with the standard stay.
only under the bonnet every 6-8 weeks to dip the oil.
i class the struts as the same as LED lights - i'll buy when i need them, not when i want them.

Back ache, checking the oil once a month?
I leave the rest to the chaps at Brayley Honda (slightly more expensive than £30 though!
