One last bilstein question (well, maybe two . . .)

I don't think I used spacers in mine, but I can't remember. I do know that when I was building the coilovers, I had one strut tube with a spacer, and one w/o. I never put spacers into the tubes when I installed the struts, so I assume that they're not needed.

Use the blue dust boots that come with the Bil's. They have internal bump stops, so you don't need to add one. I run mine w/o dust boots, because they don't fit with 2.5" diameter springs. Since they're inverted, I don't think it matters if they are exposed to dirt.
