FRPP Springs - What are the Black Boots for?

I got my springs, and plan on installing within the next couple of weeks. What are the boots that come with this kit for? I haven't seen them in other kits?

Hey, my purse is pink, thank you!

Sure they're a dust boot, but any idea what they go on? Stock shocks??? I haven't gotten a chance to take the cover off the car to look. But I'm a little perplexed.

Sure, but dust covers for what? They don't go over top of the springs, so are they supposed to go over top of the struts?

they go on top of the struts. every time you take off the boots on top of the struts and shocks you're supposed to replace them with new ones.

They go on the front struts. They replace the factory boots. They're shorter than the factory ones. You'll need to pull the metal piece out of the stock one on each side and transfer that to the new boot.
