I'm just making this thread so that in the future people can search and easily find the part numbers for these items without having to read through a lot of threads.

Heavy duty trunk torsion bar (spring) part number:
08F13-S0K-201R2

For some reason, that part is listed under model years 1999-2002 in the dealership's parts system, but it is the same part number for 2003s also (which explains why my dealership couldn't find this part for my car, boy was it frustrating! ).

Torsion bar installation tool part number:
08M10-SM4-100 or 07AAF-SNAA100

For those of you who don't know, if you add a heavy spoiler to your car, and it doesn't come with these stronger torsion bars, you should replace the stock bars with these because otherwise the trunk will have a hard time staying open and it could fall down on your head if you are leaning over your trunk. I hope this helps

Thanks Neil.

Also, here is the DIY for installing the OEM spoiler, and it includes instructions for changing the torsion bars:

Very nice... thanks for info. My trunk has guillotined a lot of my friends over the years and I think it is now time to fix the problem.
