does kyb sell the bump stop and the dust boot separately? You will notice that when you take apart the oem suspension the dust boot and the bump stop are one unit. The bump stop is attached to the boot. It looks like an accordion if you're not familiar. And then the bump stop pushes into the upper spring mount.

Here's a pic from when i did my suspension:

I had to cut part of the bumpstop when i installed my springs. I'm not sure if you need to do that with H&R's.

I wish i knew the correct names of the parts so i knew what they were talking about. Because there are really only 4 pieces:

*The top mounting pieces that holds the top of the spring
*The bearing
*The boot w/ built in bumpstop
*miscellaneous parts like a paper thin isolator that goes on top the the suspension assembly and some other isolator material that's wrapped around the spring.

I would recommend buying the lower priced parts because it's probably all the same. Maybe someone else knows more.

Plus since you have a 95, it might be worth replacing those parts. But I dont' think it's vital.

I did the same you were doing. You do not need to replace all the parts. It's a waste. Get new rubber boots for your front and rear shocks, spacers, and the small plastic? boots that wind on the bottom of the shocks. Basically everything else will not need replacement, unless you have money to waste, and thats speaking from experience. I replaced my stock shocks for kyb agx about 2 weeks ago when I did a 5spd swap on my 96 gle.
