Currently my struts aren't doin the job..... My greater fear is that the unequal lifting assist is causing a 'warping 'condition in that transition which certainly isn't good for the integrity or paint. Are there any aftermarket struts that have proved to be a good replacement/ thanks...

don't do it. The torsion bar setup works great and is out of the way, try swinging the top into the rear trunk with struts attached! The struts also eventually warp the rear trunk lid, one also has to drill holes in the precious 914 body to install them
