Best Hood Struts?

[Wingnutzz]

They do a nice job with holding the hood open. No hood flex. You can put the Steeda labels on them or not.

How does it open and close? Any hood flex?

I got the Steeda struts and put them on this weekend. Pretty happy with them overall. The upper brackets are bigger than the Redlines and Ford versions, and came with some rubber bumpers to help minimize movement betwen the bracket and hood. Though I'm surprised there is only one bolt for the upper brackets. But no hood flex when closing and they didn't seem to affect hood alignment at all.

I think in hindsight the Roush struts are probably a little more sturdy because the upper brackets have multiple mount points, and the lowers use a different mounting point. But the installation is more involved, and I really didn't want to jack around with aligning the hood afterward.
