GrimmSpeed Hood Struts

Upgrade Your Subaru BRZ, Scion FRS, or Toyota GT86 with GrimmSpeed Hood Struts

Let’s get real for a second—if you own a 2013-2021 Subaru BRZ, Scion FRS, or Toyota GT86, you know how annoying that OEM hood prop can be. It’s bulky, it blocks your view of that gorgeous FA20 boxer engine, and it’s just plain in the way when you’re trying to work under the hood. Enter the GrimmSpeed hood strut kit, which is here to change all of that.

This isn’t just some off-the-shelf solution. GrimmSpeed teamed up with the folks over at FT86Club.com to create something that really works for your ride. We spent months fine-tuning this kit to ensure it’s perfectly balanced. When you lift the hood halfway, it sits there nicely—perfect for showing off your engine at the next car meet. And when you’re ready to fully open it, just a flick of the wrist is all it takes. Closing it? Easy. Just hold it below the neutral zone and let it drop. No more risking scratches or bending anything out of shape.

Now, let’s talk about the engineering behind this. We used a FARO arm and some serious CAD software to map out the hood and engine bay in 3D. After testing and tweaking the design, we produced the brackets with top-notch laser cutting and CNC bending. What does that mean for you? A kit that fits like a glove and operates smoothly every single time. And those struts? They’re not just any struts. These are beefy gas springs, custom-built to our specs, with a large diameter that provides excellent opening force without sacrificing smoothness.

We didn’t skimp on materials either. The brackets are made from a tough mild steel alloy, ensuring they hold up after all that laser cutting and bending. We powder-coated them in a durable DuPont texture black, so they look clean and professional. The gas springs are made right here in the USA, and they’re designed specifically for the weight of your BRZ/FRS hood. Plus, we use high-quality zinc-coated hardware that’s built to last.
