    Dust boots to use with Konis?

    My full set of Konis arrived today, sans dust boots for the front and rear. I assumed they woulnd't come with them, so no big deal. Jordan said I can use new OEM boots for the rears, but does anyone know what boots to use for the fronts?

        Dude, I'm going to get neon green or blue if they have them.

        They will go perfect with the rest of my riced-out car.

          Proving once again Josh is nothing but a child pretending to be a man. it's sad someone is going to call you dad someday, when you're a big baby.

          Do whatever you want to your car, but don't be claiming you need aerodynamics......or that's the purpose.

              Josh big baby. Robert funny. Make Josh laugh big ha ha's. :D

              Anyway, I was being sarcastic. I smoothed things over with you yesterday, to a reasonable civil extent. Stop taking me so seriously.

                  There's black. And they aren't very noticeable...but whatever floats your boat.

                    That's what I did. Not like my car is dying...

                    Well, not my suspension at least.

                      How bout them bump stops? My old ones are like...yea, partly gone cause they are so brittle. I figure as long as there's something, all is well, right?

                      I shouldn't be bottoming out with Koni's and IE's anyway!

                        I don't know about Koni's, but Bilsteins have internal bump stops. And you don't need to run dust boots, at least I don't.

                          Just noticed this topic............



                          I instlld Koni SA's from GC last week, and noticed our oe dust covers wont work w/ GC bump stops.....I called GC and they said dont use any covers!......no biggie to me, as car is really track only but for a daily driver I might be bummed. In rear I went boot less too...... If you look at front shock set up( at least w/ my HR race) there is barely any shock rod exposed anyhow.
                          I love sitting down and just driving!

                            I just ordered new bump stops for the front, which I could cancel. Do I really need them?? :? There's still a LITTLE left on the front, just not a whole lot...
