Mine hardly made a difference at all. I even wiped the seals and struts with lube per the instructions. You have to reuse your factory screw which leaves fewer threads to engage the plastic trunk and mine didn't even come with a washer. If you tighten it down too far, the spring just pops out. The plastic cap on the end of the spring has made numerous attempts to escape. Overall I'm wholeheartedly unimpressed. For what I paid, I expected better hardware and more thought put into it. I totally paid the Corvette tax on that one.
