I agree the retracts are garbage. I, therefore, ordered a set of Hangar 9 retracts that they repersented as an upgrade. The actuators had more slop in the actuators than the initial retracts, but the struts were much better. I've ordered GP struts from Tower and am planning to mate them to the original actuators. I'd like to simply purchase a quality set of retracts if I knew the what and where. Anyone have any suggestions?
