Hey everyone-

I have a '92 coupe that I'm replacing the suspension on. The AGXs and Sportlines are on the bench; the problem is the original strut boots are absolutely disentegrated.

I know there are specific boots from KYB or Nissan OEM that fit, but both are very expensive ($18-25 each quoted), and both need special orders. I'd love to tackle these this weekend if possible.

Can anyone suggest any generic boot options? Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

--->DJ

If you don't want to pay for the right ones then don't use them. Run without them. Lifespan will be just fine without them.

$18-$25 is not expensive. And I would not recommend running without them.

I guess you COULD try going to a junkyard and finding something similar if you don't want to spend the money.
