Boots for Koni Yellows?
Will the stock boot fit the Koni Yellows? If no, what are you using? Are boots recommended for the front and rear?
|
Can you just use the boots from the stock suspension?

i did a quick google about it. And I think generally people use the stock boot. But I couldn't find a specific example for the 370z. It's not a popular shock afaik. Never heard of anyone using it. Or maybe the people that use it just aren't as vocal about it because it's not fancy.
From just eyeballing the shock itself it looks like the stock boot will be fine imo |

I have no real proof just I haven't come across anyone that has bought them. Haven't seen many(any?) forum threads about them. I think people generally buy something with some adjustments (perch and shock body length) If they bother to upgrade their shocks/springs.
So I would guess, the most popular shocks for lowering springs, are stock shocks. Lowering springs is mostly a cost saving measure. When you don't want to spend money on coilovers. The overlap of people buying lowering springs and shocks together is probably incredibly small. When you can buy coilovers for the same price, or even less. advice: sell your lowering springs and buy some br racing BR coilovers for 1200$. That's less than the cost of the lowering springs and koni yellows no? OR just replace your blown shock unit. |
You will find that there is a black plastic sleeve on the Koni shock that is in the place of the OE rubber sleeve. If you were to recycle your sleeves, it looks like there would be some modifications you would need to make to allow them to fit. The installation instructions that come with the Koni shocks make no mention of reusing the sleeves on their product.

I was thinking the front shock boots. as the product picture for the rear shows them coming with a sleeve. I assume you could buy a 10 dollar universal boot for the fronts as well

I have Konis and like them. For the Z they are not inserts like on some other cars. It has been a long time since I installed them but it's just a strut swap on the front. Compress the spring, remove the strut and reuse the top hat etc. The rears come with their own dust boot because the adjustment is at the top of the dust boot.
