Got a new pair from SpecialT a few months ago. Doors bounce at 90, open perfectly in the 80s, but nedd a little help at temps lower than this. Bought these to replace ones I bought on eBay earlier this year. They were horrible. I guess nothing likes to pick up these 90 lb. doors when it's not warm out.
