Pic of KYB dust boots

Anyone have a pic of the KYB AGX dust boots? I'm curious to see how different or similar they are to OEM boots. Thanks

I installed new KYB dust boots when I installed AGX's about 1.5 months ago. With 55k miles my OEM boots were COMPLETELY trashed. The quality of the KYB boots is excellent...I recommend them...

Thanks but I was kinda looking for a better closeup or possibly a comparison shot of them side by side so that I could compare the quality of them.

I doubt a picture will show the difference in quality. Trust me, the KYB boots are much better than OEM boots. When I changed the suspension on my '97 SE, the boots had about 58K miles on them and they literally crumbled to nothing in my hands. The KYB boots felt thicker and made of better material when I put them on. I can try to get you a close-up pic of my KYB boots installed, but I'm gonna be working for the next few days, so I can try this weeekend.

Later,

That's as close as I've got. The rubber definitely feels thicker even when compared to new OEM dustboots. I only bought them because they had the bumpstop precut, but if I had to do it again I'd still do the same.

After having the progess/agx combo for over a month, I still have a big . I love the ride, I am very happy with this setup. The KYB boots did not have to be modified in any way. They already have shortened bumpstops, and are very durable....you cant go wrong with them
