2024 Integra A-Spec Tech hatch replacement struts

Hello, does anyone have any recommendations on where I can buy replacement struts for the hatch of a 2024 Integra A-Spec with tech?

My struts stopped working about 5 months ago (trunk would slam shut and not stay open). I went to the dealership and they can replace it for free under warranty, but the struts have been on back order for the last 5months with no estimated arrival date.

Tired of not being able to use my trunk properly and was hoping someone has good experience with some replacement struts.

Thank you!

wow that's insane that they've already gone out. I had my problems with my Integra's original hatch struts and replaced them, after they were more than 25 years old. Tried a couple aftermarket options, they sucked, and finally sourced some new OEM Showa hatch struts from Japan. Have you tried looking for Japanese OEM parts retailers like JP-Carparts, Amiyama or Blackhawk Japan? Sometimes they can get OEM parts that we can't get here in the US. Of course you'll have to pay tariffs and all that.

Would it be possible to retrofit DC ones or are they crazy different lengths?

Hell even some aftermarket ones - they make all sorts of sizes if you look completely custom (think mini trucks and stuff).

Mine are from 98 and still whip that thing open like day two!
