My 2250-90 struts open 1" less than stock.
The 2249-89 struts open 1.5" more than stock

The SPD struts go for $32.38 a pair; the OEM struts are $150.72 a pair from subaruparts. List is $197.80 a pair





Danny, the OEM struts measure 18.5" from center of ball on hood to pivot point on the strut bracket (which is where the new struts attach)

Amazing presentation skills
Thanks John
