GrimmSpeed High-Lift Hood Struts - Subaru Forester (SG9)
Ditch the clunky factory hood prop for good. GrimmSpeed has engineered a gas strut kit that lifts the hood on your Subaru Forester with just a couple of fingers, giving you a clear, unobstructed view of the engine bay every time you pop the hood.
This listing covers the Subaru Forester (SG9), built between 2003 and 2008. The kit is designed specifically for the aluminium bonnet fitted to this generation.
Important: This kit does not fit the very rare steel bonnet variant of the SG9 Forester. Confirm your bonnet material before ordering.
Key Features
- Opens the hood 35% higher than the OEM prop for better light and access
- Custom valved gas struts balanced specifically for the aluminium SG9 bonnet
- Eliminates the factory hood prop rod entirely
- CNC laser cut, powdercoated steel brackets for consistent fitment
- Stainless steel ball studs to prevent corrosion
- Grade 8.8 clear zinc hardware included
- Struts manufactured in the USA to OEM-grade quality
Vehicle compatibility, OEM part numbers, and fitment notes are provided in the tabs above. Please ensure your Forester's bonnet type is confirmed before ordering.
