I have a 93 S13 and I'm about to put a set of kioni shocks on. I'm wondering if I need special boots for these shocks, since the car is being lowered also, or if I should just use stock ones... anyone know?

Well, I really wish someone had replied to my question, because now I found out the hard way! I ordered new boots from KYB, and sure enough, they don't fit! These Koni's came with the Eibach ground control kit so the springs are too narrow for the boots to fit inside of them! DAMMIT!!! So now I have all 4 boots brand new with nothing to put them on... ugh! $125 + shipping out the door!!! If I didn't have the narrow Ground Control spring kit, they'd work fine.

Anyone with normal size lowering springs need a set of shock boots???
