Question Strut boots on KWs?

Anyone try and fit the OEM or other strut boots with KWs or other coilovers? Thinking about winter time and all the salt etc.

This will not work. I am pretty sure it wouldn't. Maybe get a shock boot from truck shocks and then cut it to size.

Not unless you plan on adjusting them alot. If you plan on setting them and forgetting then you should be fine. I like the STANCE makes their from ALU, instead of steel. Not sure if the KW's are steel or ALU bodies.

Looks like it is a mix (from their website):
Quality:
• Strut housings in inox-line stainless steel technology
• Anodized aluminum spring collars and add-on pieces
• High-quality, high-tensile racing springs
• Special ventilation and sealing system
• High-quality damping components
• Hardened, chromium-plated piston rods
• Special guide and sealing systems
• Pistons with V-shaped Teflon seals – optimal sealing with minimal friction – temperature-resistant, durable damping technology
