That is exactly what I was confused about. The KYB boots don't seem to have
the bumpstop and so I was thinking that I might need their mount for it to
work. Sounds like I really just need to reuse the old boots or at least the
old bumpstop from the old boots or just get new genuine Mazda boots. The
OEM boots are expensive but I would hate to have the car apart and then
learn that I needed them... So I will get the OEM boots to go with the KYB
GR-2 unless there is a better recommendation for a basic set-up.
Thank you both for your replies.
