Shock dust covers
I'm installing my Koni/GC setup today and figured I would reuse my old dust covers from my stock shocks. Problem is, the dust cover will not fit inside the GC top hat. I'm wondering if you guys even run dust covers or just scrap them competely. Some quick help would be awesome:D

I made my own dust covers out of universal steering rack boots once when I had GC's, but they didn't work very well.
My Konis are 6.5 yrs old and still working great, but I'm not sure if they would be if I didn't have any dust covers for that entire time.
It would be nice if someone came up with some kind of boot that would work with GC coilovers.

Re: (PatrickGSR94)
Been running with no boot, no issues here also.
Possible boot that may work:

Re: (blaak-crx)
Yeah that's the thread I made. The boots were just a hair too large and got caught up by the spring coils.
Those ES boots I think are made for off-road truck shocks, which are WAY too large to fit inside 2.5" springs.
Now those KYB boots might be a possibility. I didn't know they had those.
