Strut dust boots - anyone have "aftermarket?"

During the previous (and far from last) change in springs, noticed that my strut dustboots (particularly the rears) were all shredded up. I'm sure I can get some more OEM's, but then they'll be shredded in 4-5 years again - has anyone gotten them from elsewhere - I know Energy Suspension makes dustboots, but not entirely sure which ones (if any) are the correct fit.

thanks in advance.

I think Cattman sells em. I'll let you know...I trimmed my bumpstops a little too much and will order new ones from him later this week.

My illuminas are coming in the mail tomorrow probably so I hope my stock dust boots are in good shape or I am going to go nuts waiting for a set of new dustboots to arrive in the mail. So lets hope this thread doesnt apply to me too but if it does I would like to know about aftermarket dustboots too

mine were like that when i replaced them, except all 4 were that bad. It was almost as if I "poured" them off my struts when i removed them

I am going to replace the rear shocks on my '01 GXE. As I can see, at least the driver side rear shock boot is torn.

The cheapest OEM boots I found online is here www.1stnissanparts.com. I have ordered from them before with good experience. No tax or shipping charge for LA area.
