Grimmspeed High Lift Hood Struts
Subaru Forester XT 2003-2008
Product Resources
Features & Product Details
RallySport Direct proudly carries a great selection of quality performance upgrades by our friends over at GrimmSpeed.
These are the GrimmSpeed High Lift Hood Struts. These hood struts have been designed to provide the hood of your vehicle support while eliminating the factory hood prop. This will provide a cleaner look for those of you who like to show off your engine bays at car meets or car shows while providing you with more room to move around the front of the car while performing maintenance as you won't have the prop in the way.

Number 1 mod for anyone planning to do engine work on a Forester. I actually warped my hood a bit from keeping it held up with only the stock hood support. The extra height also allows for full overhead light, which is a huge improvement.

Easily one of the best upgrades for a forester. Install took about 20 minutes and they fit flawlessly and look great. As expected quality is superior from grimmspeed.

Easy to understand installation, thus easily installed. Excellent execution of each piece/part of this kit. Laser-cut, black wrinkle-finish hood brackets are superb. Stainless steel bolts, nuts and related pieces/parts equally superb. Overall, much better than any similar OEM kit available. The final part, stick-on Grimm-Speed name plates, "make" this kit. Like another reviewer, would really like to have two lift points or height 'settings' for these struts: one, the "standard" prop- height opening; the final, the "full-height" opening. That would make these an unbeatable modification for the Forester.

Gives me a lot more room and light in the engine bay to work. Wish they were adjustable so it could be closer to stock for regular stuff like checking fluids, but open up more when doing more involved jobs

There is nothing worse than working on your car from the side and standing too quickly just to hit your head on the hood. With these installed your hood will go almost as far back as possible without having to use the em hood prop. After spending thousands on the car this has to be one of my favorite simple mods that really makes a big difference.
