Strut Boot, Bump Stops
hey guys i did some searching on this, but just cant get a definite answer (is there ever)
i am getting (have, but am waiting to install) tokico / eibach combo
ive got a 91 se, i am almost certian the boots are broken... my questions is, is there really any advantage to replaceing them, the struts them selves have a plastic ring that suposedly cleanes off the piston, but honestly, do they, or do thy not do any good (any opinions welcomed)
2nd question, from personal expericne on a 91se with 127k on it, are the bumpstops needing replacemnt and again, are they truly necessary with the stiffer eibach springs???
so many quesitons so little time
ill write up a good documentery when i put em on and post it mid may (and the autox results too
(also, did anyone else with this combo have camber problems? with stock wheels? with 17's or 16's?)

not sure about your questions
but I went to staples and they gave me the run around telling me that my problem was with ups and I told them UPS told me the oposite, so I made them call UPS and ups is sending them a claims form for me to fill out monday or tuesday, they want you to hold on to the box for 5 days, if they ask tell them that the most expensive part out of the box is whats missing,
then once I fill out the forms thell mail me a check, but dont worry Ill lay-out the money and pick it up tuesday.
