Let's hear from you boot poppers out there..

i dont know if it is the struts or the poppers,
my boot is certainly heavy to close with the new struts on but it isnt to bad,
the poppers are certainly doing their job with regards to compression but the combination of these parts is not enough,
even on a level surface i cant get the boot to fully open, as mentioned earlier when i installed the poppers i had a problem with the allen key turning forever, both anti clockwise and clockwise, did any of you guys have this issue as according to the video install i watched the turning should come to a stop - so i dont know if i have the full compression setting, it looks maxed out but who knows.
I think i need bigger poppers or should i say ones with more compression,
i suppose it could be the struts but i cant tell,
very frustrating this and any info from members much appreciated
 

Did you grease the ball joints before putting on the new struts. I have been recommended to do this, as I didn't when I fitted mine, as it makes a difference.

yeah greased up like an Amsterdam hooker.
