Eliminating torsion rod hood supports. Alternatives?

Careful with the pneumatic struts. The hood on my lexus actually was starting to show a buckle at the strut support bracket. You need to somehow weigh the hood at the support point (ie. Scale under a prop rod where you want it) ans use that rather large weight /2 to determine what struts to buy. Also make sure the height will be correct when installed, and the support bracket has enough bracing to not buckle the hood when you try and close it. The torsion bars look like a better option after looking up a few supports and associated hardware.
