Nope; they work the same way. And based on my research when I was looking into hood struts, the Redlines were the favorite on this forum, like 'El-Guapin' said. The second choice was the Steeda kit, and the 3rd the FP one. The Roush kit is reportedly the best once installed... BUT it requires removing all 4 hood bolts, meaning realignment is needed, so few want to do that. The top 3 require modification (cutting) of the battery box (the Roush reportedly doesn't), and NONE offer any better upper hood support, unfortunately.So there's no official optional for our Mustang that actually works good without modifications? I believed that the ones from Ford Performance were OK?
The “modification” consists of drilling one little hole. Hardly a big deal.So redline.. steeda.. FP... etc. all require the modification of the battery box? I don't want to modify anything! :( ...and it looks strange to me that a official optional (FP) ask you to "cut" a piece. Hum
Yes. But is such a small, easy cutout of the battery COVER. Can’t even tell is there! The cover is easy and cheap to replace too if you want to go back to stock. But if you set on NO modifications then this might not be for you.So redline.. steeda.. FP... etc. all require the modification of the battery box?

Is not just the Bullitt. The mod is needed for all S550s. Minus the GT500!KK, I believed it was a more important modification. However isn't a little strange that Ford want you (the dealer) to make a hole in battery cover for an original optional? Or the struts aren't designed for the Bullitt?
Huh? The gas struts are not an original option. They are aftermarket. The small hole in the battery cover is a simple fix for not having to need the old rod. If I remember correctly, Redline even supplies the drill bit.KK, I believed it was a more important modification.

JC asked about the MRT's and after a number of us told him to stay away he bought them anyway. I guess he was so disappointed in them he decided to stay with the rod. I do not know anyone who leaves their hood open all the time but whatever.I can see Elp_jc not wanting them, as he leaves his hood open all the time when parked. I would guess that 95% of us don't leave our hoods open like that. I do pull in and open mine after long runs, but I close it after a couple of hours.
This is correct!!....... If I remember correctly, Redline even supplies the drill bit.
