they will last much longer with the dust boot on them but it won't hinder them from functioning without it

What is the situation? I had to tak emine off when i had shitty coilovers on. When i upgraded to kyb and tein springs they went right on. If you drive alot where it is dirt or sand or anything like that then put them on. The keep the shock "ram" from getting scratched.

b20hatchy, i have same thing now, kyb agx and some coilovers witch i dont like anymore. too bumpy.
i will look around for some hose like vacum cleaner has and put it in, cause the stock dust boot doesnt go over the coilover sleeve.

no i don't go off roading.
