if anyone here has installed BBK's, so you know if I am supposed to remove the entire stock plastic boot and bumpstop, leaving the entire upper strut exposed?
That's a good question. I just removed all the original stuff and installed the BBK's. Of course, my car isn't on the road yet. My hood doesn't fit right yet also, I think I need to add the other spacer that came with the kit. I don't think you need the old boot though. I didn't see any way to install it anyway.
