I love the fact the Ohlins coilover kits come w a dust boot cover to protect the damper shafts and pistons from dirt and debris..Other coilovers including my ASTs do not have this.

It seems like a dust boot would be real nice to have, but I'm a newb at this stuff...

I was a product manager for a cylinder manufacturer and we never recommended dust boots.
Unless you clean them often, they will actually trap dirt and prematurely wear the piston and rod end seal. The dust boots "breath" with small holes in them. The dust and dirt migrate in, but it's very difficult to get out.

I myself think dust boots are kinda cosmetic parts

Oh hell yeah. Ohlins is huge in the motorcycle world. Now the question is can I finally have coilovers without have to lower my car?
