Hey,

I'm going to be ordering my ZX2 struts tonight, I read through the FAQ and it says to order dust boots also. I could save some money by reusing the old boots. Is there any reason I shouldn't do that?

Usually the old ones are cracked or missing.

Just order all 4 and then return the ones you don't need, thats what i did..I only ended up putting on 2 new ones.

I'd rather not order stuff that I don't need in the first place, I'll take a look at which ones are usable before I order.

Don't cheap out, could cost you in the end. I ended up using universal boots and making htem work, however, it was not worth it. Took abit more effort then I expected.

They are cheap and they are meant to prolong to life of your strut, which is considerably more valuable than the boot. Why wouldn't you get them?

Alright,

I ordered all 4, The reason I asked in the first place was because I thought I had less cash than I did. Turns out that I have more cash than I thought that I thought I had, so I might as well pick them up.
