So I had these bc's on the car for about 2 months and been driven for only 500 miles?
So far I ripped both front inner boots (1 was from installing the coils and 1 I noticed after doing some "spirited" driving through the back country. Anyone else having the same problem?

I tore my inner boot while installing as well, but (knock on wood) have not tore any since, had mine on for just shy of 600 miles....

I have ripped my passanger side boot 5 times, the first time when installing and the other 4 times from driving.......Still have yet to find a fix for this problem and i really wish i can find a fix for it. If it wasnt for this problem i would max out my coilovers but i cant right now.

Im getting so annoyed from changing these things once a month

So is this tearing issue due to the stress of the angle of the axle?

I believe that this topic was discussed earlier in this thread.

i wanna lift up the rear a little bit but the coilovers wont go high enough. also, got some noises coming from the drivers front and passenger rear that i cant figure out. might just put in z springs or coupes in the rear and change the compression rod bushings depending on how much i will end up spending with the h&r's and struts.
