GrimmSpeed High Lift Hood Struts Subaru STI | WRX 2015+
$104.00

If you’ve got a 2015 or newer WRX or STI, you know how cool those OEM hood struts are—but let’s be real, they could do a lot better. One of the biggest annoyances is how they limit the hood’s opening angle. It’s almost like they’re saying, “Good luck working on that engine!” If you’ve ever tried to peek into the engine bay with the factory struts, you know what I’m talking about. That’s where our High-Lift Hood Struts come in, and trust me, they’re a game changer.

These struts are designed specifically for the VA WRX/STI and VB WRX models, so you know they fit like a glove. They open the hood a whopping 30% farther than the stock ones, giving you way better access and light when you’re elbow-deep in your engine. It’s like having a personal assistant holding the hood up for you while you work. Plus, they’re perfectly balanced for the weight of your hood, so you won’t have to worry about it slamming down on your fingers.

Now, let’s talk quality. These struts are made right here in the USA and are built to last. They’re the same kind of high-quality struts that OEM manufacturers use, so you know you’re getting something that’s reliable. The quick-release ball and socket mounting makes swapping them out a breeze—just pop off the old ones and click these bad boys in place.

Features:
  • Hood opens 30% farther than OEM for better access and visibility.
  • Optimized for VA/VB hood size and weight, ensuring perfect balance.
  • Direct replacement for factory struts—no modifications needed.
  • Top-notch quality, matching OEM hood dampers.
  • Made in the USA, supporting local manufacturing.
Fitments:
  • Subaru WRX 2015+
  • Subaru STI 2015+
Notes:
  • Compatible with the 2022+ WRX VB Chassis!

So, if you’re looking to make your engine bay experience a whole lot better, these GrimmSpeed High Lift Hood Struts are worth considering. They’re practical, well-made, and they’ll make working on your car a whole lot easier. Trust me, your fingers will thank you.
