Carbon Fiber Hood and Trunk swap

Since both will be considerably lighter than OEM, does anyone recommend that I install hood and trunk shocks that have less pressure in them? I don't want to spend the money on the hood and trunk only to have them buckle or snap because the shocks are too high pressure to push them down. Where can I find these shocks in a lower pressure if I need to swap them? Thoughts, comments, suggestions?

I don't know about the hood, but the trunk w/spoiler was surprisingly heavy compared to my FG Strafespeed trunk. I removed one of the shocks to prevent the trunk being shot up, works perfect.
