Can't I just use the OEMs that came with the car? What if I don't put the boots on the AGX and just install it?

 

I don't know what the correct answer is
but I have AGX's on mine w/stock boots and have
had no probs.

 

OEM's are fine. But get new ones.

Without boots will work too but you'll wear the stuts out a lot faster.

You'll want to check to see there aren't signs of cracking. I re-used my original oem boots.

 

kyb has bump stops. someone please explain to me the functin of these.. my agx are in the garage. gonna install in a week or so. still debating on the kyb boots also.

 

The bump stops are there to protect your strut from making metal to metal contact with the car when the suspension "bottoms out", wich can blow your new struts. The stock dust covers also have the bump stops. I would recommend for you to buy some.

 

can anyone tell me where do you buy the kyb dust boots from?

 

Cattman or the Tirerack.com. I can't rememer who sells them for a better price though.

 

The price range for the boots at local dealers in SoCal is between $16 to $20. The Cattman's price of $60 for 4 seems like a good deal.
