    I have almost everything I need for my suspension upgrade with the exception of new dust boots and bumpstops for my KYB GR-2 struts. I would use my stockers but I don't want to have more down time and I just want to replace everything in one shot. Ebay seems to have some good deals but I'm confused on which ones to get, boots I would guess are fairly universal but I want to make sure I get the right bumpstops. I have vogtland springs, should that matter. Also, should I trim my bumpstops for my slight drop, or will I be fine?

    Ed,

    There's no trimming needed. If you want new parts, I'd suggest the local parts place or Rockauto. They both should have these parts.

    Just one FYI..
    A lot of the aftermarket dust boots are known to break down fairly quickly and develop holes, etc. in the plastic.
    I personally decided to stick with stock.
