Default Make your own dust boots for coilovers !!..... pics inside..!

i gotta repost this...

<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by ccjb100 &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">Ok, so I was assembling my Ground Control coilovers with Tokico Illuminas to go on my CRX the other day and it was kind of bothering me that I had to remove almost all of the original dust boot. This is not a BIG deal but I really would feel much better if I had some kind of protection for the shaft area of the shock. After all, they are not the cheapest shocks out there and I want them to last a good long time. So….I decided to make my own dust boots for them. Check it out…..it’s quite simple…. &lt;IMG NAME="icon" SRC="http://rely.net/~htimages/smile/emwink.gif" BORDER="0"&gt;

nah, you want to keep the moving parts of the car lubricated... especially the shafts that slide in and out of holes

LOL!

I cannot imagine that mod lasting too long though. Those things barely hold up to the punishing abuse of sex...

Yeah tell me about it. I destroy condoms like it was armageddon. That's why they've nicknamed my *****, "the punisher".
