Posted April 20, 200618 yr comment_164459 I've got these to go with the KYB GR-2's that I'll be using with ST Springs. The boots look a little fat for the springs, they touch the springs on the inside. Any suggestions.....

April 20, 200618 yr comment_164460 Shouldn't be a problem, other than scuffing the appearance of the boots. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/19719-kyb-strut-boots/#findComment-164460 Share on other sites More sharing options...
April 21, 200618 yr comment_164496 I bought the same boots for my Tokico springs. It's a pretty tight fit. I haven't actually mounted them yet on the car yet and I'm not sure what to do with the front since it rotates and you can't clamp the bottom portion down.

April 21, 200618 yr comment_164512 One option is just don't use them. The struts have a dust seal in them and the boots aren't necessary and just look clunky IMO.

April 21, 200618 yr comment_164514 I've just encountered the same problem on the 65 ID coil over kit I had fitted, the suspension guys couldn't get any boots to fit and said the same thing as jmortensen, but as this car might see some dirt I picked up motor bike fork gators at a wreckers for $8 pr fit excellent.

April 21, 200618 yr comment_164517 Well that was a waste of $$$. Anyone with a leter model need a set of boots with built in bump stops? I don't think this is an issue for later models.

April 21, 200618 yr Author comment_164532 I may go with your suggestion jmort. When the car is * cough * uh * cough cough * finished...I don't plan on driving it in the rain and it's not going to be a daily driver so I may just put 'em on ebay at some point...
