that is exactly what I ordered.. from amazon SB101 for front and rear..Poirot wrote:Well, according to the online catalog these are the boots needed:

Front boot - SB101
Rear boot - SB101
I would have a look at the page above for the parts needed. Let us know how it turns out as there are no aftermarket shocks and struts for the M Sport proper, just the base models. I wonder what the difference is? More than likely the rates I guess.

Not sure if i'll need them.. but oh well.
I wish they offered top mounts for the sport model.. everything else is being replaced.. I wanted everything new..
I'll let you know how it goes!

Yes I did!
With Eibach proline kit and spc upper A arms and rear arms.
The ride is actually a little softer than stock sport shocks.
I am very happy how it turned out!
I have a pic of just the front done.. turned out right right IMO.. I didn't snap a pic of the front and rear done yet..
I re-used the stock dust boots for shocks.. they were in perfect shape!
I am returning or selling my KYB ones I bought..
Here is before.. (not a good shot because you can't really see how much more the front stuck up than the rear.. I hated it!)
THE REAR Eibach springs are NOT on in these pics.. I ran out of daylight so just finished up the front ..
the rear will only drop a very small amount.. I think it looks just right.. IMO.. rides better than before too.. it definitely has a more sporty feel.. and I can feel a very very small amount of more feedback in wheel.. but very streetable and doable.. My father drove the car and was very happy with how the ride is.. and he's "old" haha..
