The support struts no longer hold up the trunk lid. I replaced the originals some years ago for the same problem. Is there a way to fix them, or am I back to another replacement? '93, Blk,Blk; Ray Lucas

You can get them rebuilt. Although I don't think it's as cost effective as it used to be.
Strutwise, if they are still around will rebuild them. If you do a search I think it was around $35/each some years ago.
I replaced my back in 2007, $80/pair from Ray Laks, including the balls. I just ordered some parts from Prime Vendor:
NSX_PrecisionTeam, contact Gerad at 775-229-7779
SOS sells aftermarket replacements too I think.

+1 I have these same struts. They are even able to hold up my trunk undercover which is an extra 5 pounds.

+++ for Strutwise. Just had mine done with an extremely fast turnaround time and reasonable price. Now I have my OEM struts working better than new and none of the shortfalls of the aftermarket offerings.

I just called Frank, owner of Strutwise. He will rebuild the NSX Trunk Strut the same day he recieves them at a cost of $23 each. That is a deal! You keep your OEM Struts this way and keep the OEM look as well!

I just called my local Acura dealer and they are $35.90 each. $70.00 for a brand new pair OEM Trunk Struts is a great deal!
$35ea
Sorry, that was a typo....it is $35 each!
$23 or $32?
He quoted me $140 for 2 trunk struts and 2 rear hatch struts.
I can tell you the SOS struts are not very good. They don't sell them anymore.
I installed SOS struts in Dec 2007, and less than four years later, they are starting to sag, even in warm weather.
So I will be replacing them again soon, probably with new OEM.

Shawn nailed it! You can get OEM for $35 each if you buy the pair so long as your dealer has them in stock. Full retail ($49?) if they have to order them. Why take a chance to save $20??? Besides, no matter what anyone says, these just don't look factory. They don't sit perfectly straight and I would bet lunch that they will eventually snap the connecting rod attached to the trunk lid. Then you got big problems!
Go with the OEM folks!
