Description
Let's face it, hood props are a pain. They're always in the way when you're working on a car. Our hydraulic lift kits open the hood further and give you full access. Great for show cars or weekend mechanics.
Includes a pair of low power hydraulic struts so that the hood is lifted evenly. A single strut has a tendency to lift one side of the hood slightly when the hood is closed and twist the hood when it's up. Because each strut only has to support half the hood's weight, it can be smaller and more compact.
As used on all of our V8 conversions as well as pretty much every car in the Flyin' Miata fleet. Stylish black with a high-power Flyin' Miata logo on the side. Made by I.L. Motorsports.
You will need to drill and tap (M6x1.0) one hole in the hinge on each side to install - our kit below includes the correct drill bit and tap. Fits all 1990-05 Miatas.

Very well engineered and balanced. I was a bit concerned about damaging the flimsy hood closing it, but the struts have just the right amount of pressure to make the task easier than before. It takes a little more pressure for the final latch, but you'll figure it out.
Buy the drill and tap set.
Install was super easy, the directions show very clearly where to measure and drill from specific points on the hood. Only small “issue” I had with these is one of the struts came completely dry with a little surface rust inside the socket with no grease for the ball fittings. Weird since the other one looked brand new and greased out of the box. Not a huge deal, just added some grease and they worked great. Slightly stiff when closing the hood for the first time just make sure you don’t crank on it and bend the hood. After a few openings and closings, it goes down as it should with ease.
Easy to install looks really good I like it best mod you could do
Easy to install works great.
Quality product with everything included to install, instructions a little confusing at first about where to drill a hole on the hinge. The FM logo can also be seen through the gap between the hood and fender which is fine with me but I wasn’t expecting it. Opens the hood well and should last
