Does anyone know if KYB strut boots can be used on Koni inserts? Or does Koni have strut boots you can buy? I emailed tire rack about this and this is what I got back. I'm going to be using coilovers so I can't use the KYB struts they suggest to use.
Not that I don't trust their opinion, I just didn't include some info is all.

The strut boots are good as they offer an additional protection to the GR-2 struts against dirt & grimme.
