Boots for KYB GR-2 Struts/Shocks
Where do you get them?
I ordered a set. Thought the boots came with. They didn't. The vendor I used and KYB web site doesn't list any. One Nissan dealer says oem equivalents are special order. Another says oem isn't even available.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks for the help
The AGX boots were a very good buy, but they just looked different than what I have on my '01. libradude97se's Max looked to be a '99 so I didn't bother him either.
I ended up ordering the rear boots from Courtesy Nissan. They sounded like they knew their parts & were 50% less expensive than my local jerk dealer. I experimented and ordered the front "bellows" (as I learned these parts are often called) from RockAuto.com. They showed A LOT of Maxima parts on their web site and were 40% cheaper than Courtesy to boot. 1st time I ever dealt with either of these two guys...shipments should arrive at the house late next week...got my fingers crossed.

Here is how it all turned out...
The rear dust boots from Courtesy worked perfectly. The front dust boots from RockAuto did not fit at all and I had to return them. The installer just reused the old front boots.
Next time I'll just order everything from Courstey and not mess with looking for the lowest cost.
