Default About Trunk spring
After I got my spoiler done on my car....
my trunk seems very weak against it, and falls very hard.
Is there any stronger spring so that I can replace it?
so it wont slam it everytime i close my trunk...

If you had an OEM spoiler installed Honda provides new larger torsion springs.

If the spoiler is aftermarket you may want to go to the dealer and special order a set of the larger springs and the spring remover-installer tool.
