2018 GT has the same stock spoiler I have. He isn't wrong. The struts really don't kick in until the trunk lid is up a few inches and they get some vertical lift. They work well once you hit that sweet spot though. I think they are intended more for keeping it open than making it easier to lift since they are horizontal for much of the opening process. Don't know that having stronger ones would make any difference at all for that first stage.
