Strut Dust boots
rockauto.com is pretty good. where i got them, at least. get the KYB ones. not sure of the part numbers exactly, but they are in the FAQ sticky.
don't quote me, but IIRC you are looking for the fronts boots from a 95 Miata and the rears from a Mustang...? something like that. 1305 and 1308? i dunno.
EDIT: here, I found it:
that should be all that you need. I'm dropped on s-techs with illuminas and have had no problems and no bottoming out.

What strut boots do I need for aftermarket struts?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After doing some searching on the org prior to doing my suspension install recently 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. Advance Auto sells KYB struts for most cars (at least the GR2 model) so I thought that I would try there.
DO NOT BUY THE PARTS THAT THEY LIST AS OEM REPLACEMENTS FOR THE MAXIMA!
So here is the good information-
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.
For the fronts:
You can 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 checked with them on this and they have a direct-match part number listed in the computer system.
All 4 boots are about $15 each. They take about 2 days to get in.

Asking $75 shipped, all you'll need is a set of rear dust boots and with the MV rear mounts, you can use the stock covers.
