damper questions

[RacerTrue]

hello, i was wondering if dust boot covers are absolutely necessary for my kyb's. i have had them for about 8 months now and wondered what the life expectancy is with them w/ about 4kg springs.

also, where can i find info on installing dampers as well as a breakdown of the components? like what the bump stop is, etc. all the part of the spring + dampers.


thanks!

I dont think it's necessary, but if you dont have dust covers cant dirt get in there. I would think that would make the shocks more vulnerable to wear.

depends on the type of driving you do. If you live where it doesnt snow or rain much, and its pretty dry and you dont go off road or anything, you'll be fine. They are nice to have though when you end up in the dirt at the track!
