Default need rubber shock boots for konis

Hey everyone!
I recently just got some Koni Sport shocks (93 civic), and tried to put the rears on today, but was halted when I realized I need some boots for the shock rod (within the coil spring) don't want to contaminate the inside of the shock. I cannot re-use the old boots from the stock shocks. Koni doesn't sell boots (or obviously provide them which the shocks), and the parts store only has strut boots.
Does anyone know where can i find some?
Thanks in advance

LOL

I really don't need them? Why do the stock shocks have boots? I really would like to keep the shocks for a long time. Thanks for you input

I've been using mine without any boots for 3 years now in the salty Northeast with no issues. They are really not necessary. If you're really looking to spend money, go ahead and buy them, but I personally wouldn't waste the coin.
