bump stop and dust boot help

I'm installing my suspension tonight and I have a couple questions. I'm installing eibach pro-kit and tokico illuminas. Today I bought some OEM dust boots. I didn't buy new bump stops or anything. Do I have to modify my bump stops? And how do I go about doing it? And is there anything else that I need to know? Are the OEM dust boots going to work fine? And other than the dust boots, springs, and struts, should I have bought anything else? Thanks, enjoi

Very good post

I have the exact same questions, although it'll be another month or two before I get my suspension so I want to make sure I do it right the first time.

From What I have read, you have to cut hte OEM boots to make them fit

Check some of the suspention links in the FAQ's

I know there are boots for KYB's that you can get and supposedly fit every other aftermarket shock/strut

Probably would need new bushings for rear struts if yours are worn. I believe you'll be getting some metal clunking noise from the rear if they are worn...
