If you can stand your axles being that blue, try it and see how it works! ;)

Haha the blue doesnt bother me very much but i would like to know if they hold up better than stock :) I might have to try it myself on one axle :)

[nando]

I'd try them, who cares what color they are?

how do you find out the sizes?

[nando]

oh I see, it comes in multiple sizes and you cut off the extra.

[Nisse Järnet]

Yes and its cheap :) Im going to order two and try them out!

[Nisse Järnet]

Ordered two diffrent ones, the blue above and a other brand with grey ones that are a little diffrent. The grey ones is very similar to the stock 525ix outers in size!

Lets see how they work out!

[audiquattrot]

let us know how it works out. Had to replace a yr old boot last week, AGAIN.

[Nisse Järnet]

Got the blue ones today! It looks like they fit the inner pretty good but not perfect. Will cut one and look closer!

The grey ones is pretty much a perfect fit for the outers! Atleast on E34ix shit.
