Default question about suspension install

i installed my tokico blues and h&r sports yesterday. first, i didnt use the dust boot covers or the big black washer that goes on top of them , is that ok.

also , i figured out i put the top hat washer on upside down on the first 3 , so i did it on the last one. it seemed to make more sense to go on upside done since the washer cups. will it make a difference at all? im pretty sure i can just switch it while they are still installed if it does.

Your fine without the dust boots, and the dust-boot washers.

The top washer must have the cup facing up. It could damage the bushing, or even make contact with the top-hat if the cup is facing down. It's very easy to change by just removing the top nuts with the shocks still in the car.
