Suggestions for strut boots?

Mechanic is replacing my struts, says my boots are wasted. Where do you suggest I order from to get them quick and what do I order? Any suggestions are appreciated....

SB103 and SB108 are the part #'s. And anyplace can deliver them quick, if you want to pay for that. I found my front boots at a local import part store, and ordered the rears from the same store. They were delivered the next day.

Are those part#'s related to a particular brand, or universal? What is a decent price for 4?

Thanks!

got a direct link? would be nice to pick these up locally instead of paying shipping. I searched the Advanced store and the 14108 come up as different products, and the other number isnt found in their data base.

thanks

Shows up online for Advance Auto (partsamerica.com)

First pick a 95 Ford Mustang for the SB103: http://www.partsamerica.com/ProductD...e=1377&ptset=A
Then a 95 Mazda Miata for the SB108: http://www.partsamerica.com/ProductD...e=1377&ptset=A

Advance Auto won't have it in stock, but you can have them order it from their warehouse (order at the store and pay before 5pm, and they'll have it the next day in the afternoon/early evening)

No prob - just write down the cars and the part numbers so it'll be easier for them to find it in their system if they can't find "KYB SB103" and "KYB SB108" in their regular search (they usually ask for car info)

so just to clarify, 103 is front, and 108 is back?

do you think the reason why they rip is because you're supposed to leave them un-fastened at the bottom? The rod and body rotate seperately, so the boot will rip if you tighten it down on the body.

I think they rip because the are not the correct size and are of poor material.
