I just bought them at the dealer. I brought my car in to get lowered, and when they looked the stock boots were in like 10 seperate rings, dangling around the bottom of the shafts on all four corners. I had the dealer overnight a set of 4 for 100 bucks that I put on the next day.

KYB SB103 and SB108.

Unfortunately you will have to dismantle the struts to install boots.

How big are they? I'm thinking about putting them over KYB boots (because I hear they rip alot). You guys that have seen these universals think that would work. Also, what are the part numbers on summit? Thanks!
