do i really need the oem dust cover when im using aftermarket coilovers?
I'm asking because i had them with my coilovers inthe past but they sometimes rubbed and made noises with my coilover and so i cut them and now since im getting new coilovers should I order me a new batch of the OEM dust covers?

 

i dont think so. doesnt the sleeve cover up where the piston meets the strut housing already?

 

not in the rear it doesnt.
the front does
