A few months ago, I replaced struts, boots and related rubber on the 95 Max SE. I tried to use KYB and some other aftermarket brand boot. The KYB boots were clearly different than the originals for the SE. I ended up going back to the dealer where we looked at the parts pictures. The SE boot appeared to use a slightly different boot from the GXE in the pictures. I ordered boots from the dealer as I could not find any lower cost aftermarket boots that would fit like OEMs. I noticed the OEM GXE boot pictures looked like the KYB. I figured the aftermarket suppliers just offer boots for the most popular models.

Has anyone here used KYB strut boots on a 4th gen I30? Will the I30 will use the Maxima GXE boot?
