A pretty useless post other than to say nice work. It's guys like you that make this forum so informative ... a great resource for old noobs like me who still like tinkering with these great machines!

Do you know what's the width/diameter of the boots? I have Ground Control kit on my Koni, with 2.25" ID Eibach springs. I wonder if these will clear the springs.

These are 3" at the widest end which is barely large enough to fit around the shock mount neck. I don't think these are going to work for you. You'll have to look for something more narrow and find a way to attach it. These boots are perfect for stock diameter springs however.

I appreciate the kind words.

I'm wondering if boots are even needed? Most aftermarket shocks/coilovers don't really utilize a boot...Trying to decide if i should slap on my Koni's, or if i need to do boot installs..

A lot of people use Konis without boots; however, Koni supplies metal boots for its OEM applications.

Does anyone have the instructions/paperwork that came with the Koni yellows handy that they can scan? I would like to adjust perch setting but would like to read instructions. Much thanks!
