Yup, we've done it. And like njtls said, with gas struts. Not as easy as just taking out the torsion bars and popping a gas strut in....what we did was make a mount out of 1" steel, weld it together, and then welded it inside the trunk with the gas strut attached to it. You have to get the angle and the throw right too. I'll take some pics and post so you can see what's involved.
