G'day all,
 
I've got my strut housings about to get powdercoated ready for my Koni with Eibach upgrade.
 
I'm wondering whether anyone has used bump stops or dust boots from other Toyota models?
I figure trying to use parts from a Camry or Corolla would be easier.
 
Thanks.

To have the right suspension travel, it's important to get ones the right bump thickness/depth.
Early genuine sw20 bumpstops have a deeper bump thickness than the later ones.
 
Later (92+) SW20 genuine ones are 35 mm bump thickness depth front, and 45 mm rear.
Eibach Pro- Kits give a similar ride height to the 92+ springs so the later bumpstops should be the ones to use.
 
Twos'rus have KYB ones that should fit, but I think they only supply the same thickness for F/R

Good information there.

I looked up some on RockAuto, I think they're the same KYB kit as the ones on Twosrus.

They had multiple kits from different brands on RockAuto so I might do a bit more searching.

Just continuing on this thread, has anyone bought KYB strut boots and bump stops? What is the product code/part number? I need to replace my boots and stops both front and rear and I'm having trouble finding which ones are appropriate. 
 
Tworus have the KYB SB103, but I am unsure as to whether it's for both front and rear. According to this site, yes:

But I'd rather have somebody who has dealt with this first hand. I've also noted that the Monroe 63620 also fits? Confused.

Some time ago I got the 2 piece KYB ones from Twos'r'us, and they supplied the same for front and rear.
No probs fitting, however I needed to shorten the skirt for the fronts about a couple of inches otherwise they would have squashed.

So how did you shorten them? Did you cut along the ridges of the boot itself?

I used & can confirm the Monroe 63620 & 63619 strut boots fits a treat.  
I have used them numerous times, no cutting etc required.  PM if you need more details.

Are the different part numbers for the Monroe boots for the front and rear? I'm assuming the 63620 is for the front and the 63619 is for the rear?

No. Just run 19's all rounder. This is what they look like.

Awesome, I still haven't bought mine yet.
This saves me just taking the gamble.
