I am going to install new front KYB GR2s in the maxima. I got the parts yesterday in the mail and I was looking over it and I have two questions:

1. Does the plastic dustboot cover from the original Front struts get transferred over or do you have to buy new ones? That was one question I wasn't certain about since I didn't see boot covers in the set. Or can they actually be installed without them...The rest is fine for me...

I did go over the HOW TOs and went through my Haynes manual along with the scanned pics from the manuals but it was very vague about the dust boots is reused or not?

For thos who do have the KYB's--any comments or feedback how they are holding up and how they handle in the 4th generation Max's? I am going to reuse the OEM springs with these.

Appreciate any thoughts or comments. Thank you.
