Strut boots

Hey everyone, I need some help with my front suspension. I need to know where I can get boots for my KYB GR-2 struts that will work with a coil-over setup.
Mid-way through my project I decided to switch to coil-overs, I also have Maximum Motorsports Caster/Camber plates that call for reusing the OEM strut covers, but obviously that won't work now.
Thanks,
Steve.

Look at the circle track stuff (A-1, Coleman, etc).  There are spring covers available that velcro around the springs and act as boots.

Sweet! Thanks for the tip. I was wondering what do about that when it finally comes time for me to go c/o.

Thanks for the information. Another question, how bad is it to run without strut boots? My car won't be a daily-driver and will see limited street use.
