I'm dropping the max in june, I've already ordered the struts and springs.

Heres the problem, I'm strapped for $.

From what I've read I'll need new strut boots. and cut my bump stops.

Heres what I need to know.
Will the KYB boots that everyone seems to use, work for my illumina aplication?

I read in the FAQ's and found that mustand boots in front, and miata boots in the back work, but they didn't say if it worked for Illuminas.

I'm trying to save some $.
Any info, part#, or other remedies would be super appreciated.

If you have pics of the boot install, and the bumpstop cuts, that would be great too.

the KYBs some with shortened bumpstops and are the best to use.

if i were you i'd buy new motivational rear strut mounts to give you suspenstion another inch of travel...maybe...

 

You'll need 2 sb103 and 2 sb108 boots. They come with shorter bump-stops to get better travel. http://www.coximport.com/prod/SB103 and http://www.coximport.com/prod/SB108 .

 

Where are these available, and how do they give me more travel than stock?

also, if i get more travel, wont the back of my car/mufler scrape on the ground?

 

You can find them here: http://www.motivational.net/

Click on Products, then Rear Shock Mounts.

 

Wait, it looks like the standard rear shock mounts are discontinued! That SUCKS if true.
