Ahhh so you do have to help it up the first few inches. Okay, this makes more sense. I had taken what you said as it just popping right open as soon as you actuate the trunk release. Then that just leaves my only issue as the trunk opening with a bit too much vigour at the end of its travel.

I’d also like to do spring mod. Seems slick. I just don’t want to spend too much on springs... Googling the spec listed in comments on that YouTube video brings up only springs for special applications that are a bit pricey. I’m fine with Chinese springs of dubious quality, TBH.
