GrimmSpeed High-Lift Hood Struts - Subaru WRX (VAG/VBH/VNH) / STI (VAB)
GrimmSpeed builds gear for enthusiasts who actually work under the bonnet, and this kit solves a genuine annoyance with the factory strut setup on the Subaru WRX and STI. The struts are manufactured in the USA to OEM supplier quality and valved specifically for these chassis, giving you a hood that lifts noticeably higher and holds steady while you work.
This listing covers the Subaru WRX (VAG/VBH/VNH) and Subaru STI (VAB). SKU GRM113072 is a direct bolt-in replacement for the factory hood dampers, using the same quick release ball and socket mounts, so no drilling or modification is required.
Key Features
- Opens the hood roughly 30% farther than the factory struts for better access and light in the engine bay
- Valved to match the weight and geometry of the VA and VB chassis hoods for balanced, controlled lift
- Direct replacement using the factory quick release ball and socket mounting
- Struts manufactured in the USA to the same quality standard as OEM hood dampers
- Bolt-on installation with no cutting, drilling or permanent modification
