Information regarding purchasing KYB dust boots for suspension installs:

After doing some searching on the org prior to doing my suspension install this weekend I found this information:

"SB103 for the fronts and SB108 for the rears. Select the front boots for 95' Mustang (SB103) and rear boots for 95' Miata (SB108)."

I thought that with all of the people looking to do suspension installs I would post what information I had gathered while assembling my parts for my install.

I went to advanced auto and purchased my parts. I did this out of convenience and because I hate waiting for mail-order parts.

For the rears:
The advanced auto number was listed as a part 14108 for a company called TRW. The advanced item # is 18511582. According to Advanced auto the KYB ones are made by TRW and repackaged.

This weekend I compared it with the KYB part and they are identical right down to the stampings.

I got this part by asking them for a part for the 95 miata and they came up w/ the 14108 part number, which matched the KYB number (SB108) pretty closely. I would do the same with the mustang number (SB103). A friend gave me his KYB fronts and the # was SB103. The advanced auto computers can cross-reference those numbers. I just called to check and they are about $15 each. They take about 2 days to get in.

If by GCs you mean ground controls, no. The GCs do not use any dustboot at all. You simply re-use your oem dustboot by cutting only the top portion where it used to lock into the strut mount. There is no protection from dust and debris in the coiloversetup that we installed this weekend.

Yes. YOu actually cut the old dustboot off of the bumpstop and reuse only the bumpstop.
