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?

Exactly!

Preventative maintenance is key to proper care and ensure functionality and reliability of any car

how much do these boots run.. i plan on chainging struts soon..

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.
