Replaced the clamps for the 3rd time today except this time I installed about a 4" section of clamp centered underneath the buckle area. This has reduced the bunching up of the boot in that area, which is where mine were leaking. I haven't been able to drive the car yet, but we'll see how it goes. I'm attaching a pic so you guys can see how the boots look now.

Update:

My "fix" worked well, but then busted the rear diff bolts which tore up the outer boots on the axles. Just got em back from DSS and noticed they switched to a different boot on the outer cv joint.

This thread is the same as all DSS threads, so for the noobs, here’s what you need to know:
Half shafts = Gforce
Drive shaft = QA1
If you go with DSS then there is a 66% chance you will have problems and only a 33% chance you receive something that works properly.
That’s my experience after receiving driveshafts that aren’t balanced properly and half shafts with paper thin rubber boots and CV joints that start clacking after 1,000 miles.
