Strut Boot?
I was just wondering if any of you have rubber strut boots on your struts. When I put on my coilovers I had to get rid of the factory metal one. Now I have ordered a set of KYB GR2's and was wondering if it is necessary to use these or if it even matters.

Re: Strut Boot?
YES!!!!!!!! if the strut/shock rod becomes dirty, it WILL damage the seal. Resulting in, guess what? A nice leak & now you need a new strut(no warranty) because of a $15 part. Now is a good time to replace the upper strut mount bushings as well.
Don't forget to cut the bump stops in 1/2(shorten) KYB makes both - www.tirerack.com
