I went to the kyb website and saw some other products, the strut boots and strut mounts.

Would the kyb mounts be necessary, does it offer any advantage? I read the description, but is that factual info?

As for the strut boots, could they be used on the rear shocks as well. My suspension/car gets dirty every week(due to where I work) and if those boots could fit both the shocks/struts that'd be nice.

I have the KYB strut mounts and boots on my car right now. When I ordered the strut mount, I was expecting the whole strut mount, but really it's just the two rubber bushings, a washer, and the metal tube that goes inside of the two rubber bushings. I don't think the strut mount is necessary.

I have the strut boots too though, and they're great. They're ribbed in such a way that allows them to compress like a spring whenever the struts compress. This keeps you from having to cut the stock strut boot when you lower the car.

Yes, the strut boots can be used on the back too.

I bought mine from tirerack.com If you look at the strut mount picture you can tell why it could be deceiving.
