DETAILS

Let's face it - flip-up hood props are a thing of the past. They get in the way when working under your hood and they prevent your hood from opening far enough to allow adequate light in. Our High-Lift Hood Struts are the number 1 solution to both of these issues.

With the use and exposure that a hood strut kit will see on a regular basis, material selection and finishing options are critically important. Our kit includes laser cut and CNC bent brackets that have been coated with a durable wrinkle black powdercoat to prevent any degradation over time. The next key component is the struts themselves. Manufactured in the USA, these are of the highest quality and are used by OEMs around the world. These struts are perfectly valved to match the weight of the BRZ/GR86 hood and feature a quick-release ball and socket with clear zinc plated grade 8.8 hardware.

QUICK SPECS:

  • Opens Hood 16% Higher Than OEM - Better access and light for working
  • Perfect Hood Balance - Struts are optimized for BRZ/GR86 hood size and weight
  • Eliminates OEM Hood Prop - No risk of hood falling, more access when wrenching
  • CNC Laser Cut Brackets - Precision cut and bent for a perfect fit
  • Premium Quality Struts - Larger strut body for smoother operation
  • Durable Black Wrinkle Powdercoat - Protects brackets with an OEM+ finish
  • Made in the USA

Great Practical Purchase

Hood struts are an easy way for anyone to tack on a mod that both looks good and improves on OEM functionality. The Grimmspeed struts were pretty straightforward for me to install myself. The only real "gotcha" was that I really like to tighten bolts to factory spec, and the instructions don't include that**. Otherwise, you only have to open the hood a bit by hand and these struts do the rest; on the way down you do need to maintain control as it will drop entirely as it gets a bit more than halfway shut.

**To solve for the bolt torque question, I took my torque wrench and slowly ratcheted up the torque until I was able to turn the existing bolts in order to figure out what the factory spec was. So in my car at least, the torque values I ended up using were:

- Bolts that connect to the car: 15 ftlbs
- Nuts that connect to the hood: 27.5 ftlbs

Oh, and in case you're wondering about weight (which is not listed anywhere!):
- Hood strengthening bars: 355g (each)
- Hood struts: 281g (each)
- Total added weight: 1.27kg (2.8lbs)

One last thing that I wish Subimods (or Grimmspeed) sold as an add-on option is aftermarket dress-up bolts. So I ended up buying a "Titanium Hardware Hood Kit" from Dressupbolts for the hood nuts and (qty 2) m6x1 20mm titanium screws for the bits that go into the car. It added on to the cost a bit, but I like the outcome.
