Boot Struts

Can anybody point me in the right direction for boot struts? I was going to try just a left one initially so as not the work out how to sort the electrics on the right one! Just a generic strut is fine for us.

I looked at this a while back. I thought there were differences that would require some modification if you were buying US spec.

A number of us have bought the "Strongarm" branded "4709" strut from RockAuto:

I have fitted these to a S2 and S3 without any issues. The left side is enough to lift and hold midpoint, without leaping up, out of control.
