Grimmspeed High Lift Hood Struts 2003-2008 Forester XT

The main intention behind this design is to basically make your life a little easier. With the addition of hood struts, you get better clearance for maintenance for eliminating the factory hood prop, and it makes opening the hood with just a fingertip. Grimmspeed employed some of the finest gas springs available which are the same gas springs utilized on high-end OEM manufacturers. And they will come with super durable ball studs that will not break over time. The design of these hood struts features a large neutral position in the center which allows you to pop your hood half way up while at a car show without having to worry about finding the sweet spot to make the hood stay put. From this position, the hood can easily be opened all the way (higher than stock), or closed. This brings an overall great balance for a gas hood strut design that is easy and convenient. New ball studs, as well as all the required hardware needed for the installation, will be included.
