GrimmSpeed High-Lift Hood Struts - Subaru WRX/STI (GH8/GR8/GRF/GVF)
GrimmSpeed built its reputation on practical, well engineered upgrades for the Subaru platform, and these hood struts are a perfect example. Designed from 3D scans of the engine bay, this kit replaces the clumsy factory hood prop on your Subaru WRX or WRX STI with a set of gas struts that open the hood with one hand and hold it perfectly balanced.
This listing covers 2008-14 Subaru WRX and WRX STI models built on the GH8, GR8, GRF and GVF chassis. SKU GRM097029.
Key Features
- Opens the hood approximately 35% higher than the OEM prop for better light and access
- Custom valved gas struts balanced specifically for the aluminium GR/GV hood weight
- Eliminates the factory hood prop rod entirely
- CNC laser cut steel brackets with durable powdercoated black finish
- Stainless steel ball studs designed for the Subaru's metric thread fitment
- Grade 8.8 or higher clear zinc hardware included
- Struts manufactured in the USA to GrimmSpeed's custom specification
Vehicle compatibility, OEM part numbers, and fitment notes are provided in the tabs above. Please confirm your model year and chassis before ordering.
