You can get the KYB Boots w/ integrated bump stops for $13 ea ($52 for all
4). FlyinMiata sells the polyurethane bump stops for $31 a pair, add about
$7.50 a pair generic boots for a total of $77. I know $25 isn't a huge
difference when you're looking at the cost of replacing shocks, but why is
the seperate polyurethane boot option significantly superior?
