How reliable are those guys at AutoParts.com? I wanted to know if any of you guys ordered Tokico Blues from there and if they come with a dust boot or not. There is no info and they never correspond to email or phone. The price is TOO fantastic which is why I'm asking about the dust boots.

If you can't reach them by phone or mail, forget 'em. Buy from Coximport.com, free shipping and they'll get it to you next day since you're in NYC. $70 a pop or try Autocarparts.com, they have the best price, period.

I like the blues as well.But you are wise to be leery about the dust boots being included or not.

Got to be leery Fred. These guys will rob you. Autoparts.com does have the best price by far but defeats the purpose of saving money if there are no dust boots and I have to pay for shipping. I'll try that coximport.com Sopadope. Good looking out. People be careful out there.

I didn't realize that dust boots came with any of the Tokicos... are they supposed to? I know one set (either front or rear) in the OEM shocks come with the boots, but not the others...

You have to order the oem dust/salt boots from dealer!I believe the factory oem black rear Tokicos come with new boots but the fronts are a separate item. {???}

Only the OEM rear struts come with dust boots and bumpstop. Even for the front OEM you'll need to buy new boots. Tokico blues don't come with it.
