Can I limit how far my hatch opens?

Get a euro rear wing they sit lower.

I didn't know this. What's the reason for it? Pedestrian safety or something?

Get shorter struts

Put some foam on your garage door where it'll hit.

I would go the strap or rope route for the short term. Then look at shorter struts. Can you estimate how much shorter you want them perhaps by marking the desired position with tape and then fully opening it and measuring the distance?

I will probably find a way to hold it part way open and then measure it

Install an infrared cut off switch so that when the hatch is up, it cuts off the infrared beam thus cutting off power to the garage door opener.

I don't think that would work in my garage, that would put the beam right where your head would be when you go through the walk in door, plus I would have to park my car in pretty much the same place

Install multiple sets in X and straight patterns like those in Mission Impossible movies. Or there must be some other types of proximity sensors that might work. I know, not the best solution. lol...

Gah that’s not a shorter rear wing that’s the sport line! The regular type r has the same wing

Check out this site for struts.

The site teaches you hot to pick the right length and pressure. You'll have to figure out what rod ends work on our car.

I got a couple of struts from them for a carbon fiber hood of another vehicle. It has been a few years and the struts are still holding up pretty well.
