how to restore used suspension
I have recently purchased a used set of tokico blue and eibach springs for my TII. Before I replace them with my stock suspension I have a few questions.
1. where can I buy new strut boots? Do they have to be specific to the strut? Or can i pick up something from the local auto store?
2. is there anything i should do to clean the strut, as i dont know how they were treated by the previous owner.
3. anything else i should do to restore this used suspension set?
thanks for the advice in advance.

I would assume the KYB boots should work as the strut bodies should be the same. At least I hope so, as I'm going to need some for my KOnis and all I can find are KYB boots.
I'm restoring my suspension with about $1000. New Koni yellow f/r and Tein pillow mounts. I made the mistake of swapping in the shocks from my parts car with some suspension techniques prings to lower my FC. I soon found the struts are all crap. They grab on tights turns and bound like a pogo stick Koni is the cure.
