KYB Dust / Strut Boots Consensus?

What's the current consensus on dust/strut boots? Are KYB the best? Are there cheaper alternatives that are just as good? Where is the cheapest place to get KYB or other boots? Thanks!

I don't know about other ones, but there is a group deal going for a set for $60 right now. I think that is a pretty good price. It is in a thread with some struts/springs from Cattman, I believe.

Ok so I did some hunting online and found this:

http://www.coximport.com/prod/SB101

Seems like a good deal at $13 a piece, but I can't tell if they have the right one for the Maxima...I tried downloading the KYB catalog at:

http://www.kyb.com/catalog/index.html

But at 10MB my dialup is still struggling to finish! I'm going to try calling the coximport people soon.

yeah, the dustboots are a little cheaper on there. However, the struts and springs on those sites are a lot more expensive than the ones in the group deals. FYI.

I like the stock ones the best, they may have a big bumpstop but they fit better and last longer IMO. I had some AGX struts with KYB boots and they started to rip after 11K.
