i dont think it'll make much difference what boot it is, its gonna wear more coz of the angles. kelpro are the ones ive always got coz thats whats avail at my work.

Genuine are nice but don't seem to last longer than the $10 jobs

I found my cheapo ones from Malz lasted a month or 2. I will buy em only from Coventrys now.

coventries seem to be quite good

OEtiker make a good boot in my experience and a subie specialist workshop in town had shelves loaded up with them.

then there are Brumberty Boots, possibly near the trialling stages of R& D

It will be no surprise however my ovte is for using genuine boots and mine have lasted for ages… mind you mine are not constantly covered in fluid and grease n crap. To date I have been very lucky and also not torn a new boot while 4WDing.

This being said though I have recently decided to experiment by putting the Coventries boots on the rear shafts (only) as they are less prone to damage/fluids/grease and way easier to change should they be damaged.

Talking to the Mech at John French Subaru Brisbane and her tells me that if u have lift kit u will have to have good boots or get used to the idea of replacing the boots which from my experience is a very messy job. Good Boots -Well I'm yet to find good ones.
