    They might be 20.

    Doing a google search for the gas strut number you currently have would tell you. If you need them to be stronger go up 10 lbs. With 40 lbs you'll prob have to lush them shut.

    I'm currently looking for some myself

    Not sure what different there would be between a 2003 & 2005, but my 2005 198 has 30lb springs on all the front compartments. (To the guy asking with the 206)
