Muchos tenemos alerón del R. Ya sea una réplica del R, o más discreto del Sport Line, es un peso extra que se comen los amortiguadores del maletero… Esto hace que le cueste subir e incluso no subas hasta arriba, y que no retenga lo suficiente al cerrar y de portazo. ¿Solución? Poner unos amortiguadores más fuertes.
Los de serie son de 560mm de longitud, y 530N de fuerza. Los del R GT tienen 640N, y los del Sport Line 570N.
Mirando por internet, no soy capaz de encontrar los del Sport Line y me imagino que los originales de Honda saldrán caros. Sinceramente, de momento no uso tanto el maletero como para pagar 100€ la pareja, por ejemplo…
He visto que hay compañeros que simplemente, han comprado uno de 600N y con eso les ha valido pero no sé hasta que punto es bueno tener uno de 530N y otro de 600N, supongo que los dos iguales serán mejor, no? De todos modos el de 600N tampoco lo he encontrado, lo más cercano al Sport Line ha sido esto: https://www.autodoc.es/stabilus/8862868
¿Alguien con el alerón del Sport Line lo tiene solucionado?
You have several 635 Newton force references on Autodoc for the Type R spoiler, but considering the original Type R struts are a bit shorter, I imagine it’s to avoid easily smashing the spoiler against obstacles or low ceilings.
Otherwise, the Monroe M6330s or something like that which someone else posted above will work better, as they have a force halfway between the standard ones and the Type R ones, but with the dimensions of the standard ones. I think I’ll try those because I’ve never had to worry about clearance with the spoiler, so I don’t really need a shorter one.
In the end, I grabbed these, as they were about the same price as on DyreParts and just in case I had to return them… https://www.amazon.es/dp/B0FB3YVFM1
Apart from the fact that the tailgate now sounds like when you open a sofa bed, I’m very happy. Before, I had to lower it carefully because it would slam, and now you actually have to pull it down a bit to close it.
@Sirone and I have taken a chance on the ones from Dyreparts (Casals brand); looking at them and touching them, they seem to be very high quality. I’m going to install them now; they arrived in less than a day.
Edit: I’m running the 550mm and 650Nm ones with the original Type R spoiler (which is a bit heavier than the replicas), and if you aren’t careful, at the end of the travel it makes a banging sound because they have a bit too much force; maybe the ideal setup is to put one 600 and one 650 (they recommend 635 for the Type R hatch). Other than that, they’re working great so far.
EDIT: After a bit of use, the final banging is minimal and sometimes non-existent, but the force they have is a real pleasure.
