Redline or Steeda Hood struts

Just curious, if you guys had to choose would you go with the Redline or Steeda Hood struts, trying to decide between the two.

Do u have two options to look at? There looks to be a couple variations of each brand. I may regret it later but for now I just bought a 60$ set off of eBay.

I went redline. I went to a car show and talked to a guy that had at one time owned several types. He was adamant that redlines were the best. Best operation. I liked the way it looked more too. They look more factory. This may sound odd but I want my mods to look like the car came that way from Ford.

I have the Steeda engraved billet hood struts, they work great and look even better.

Love to hear it & appreciate the feedback!

They are both great units & the OP will be happy with whatever route he chooses - but of course, would prefer the Steeda route!

Best Regards,

Are the new Steeda Struts the same as the Red Lines? They look identical and mount the same way?

No, they are our own design & product - there are only so many ways you can design some of these parts, they won't be too different than that of the competition.

I can't speak to the Steeda's, but I have Redlines and am very happy with them. So quick and easy to install and does wonders for engine bay appearance. If those are Steedas in the picture above, they look identical to Redline so I'm guessing installation would be the same.
