Default SUSPENSION: STRUTS/COILOVER HELP!

I have a 2000 honda civic 2door (EK Coupe)
I just took off my struts and put new coilover sleeves on. There was this orange rubber/soft thing on my struts that came off? Idk what that thing is called but I was wondering if i really need it or if I can just take them off?

No. As stated. Also if you put on cheap coilovers you will blow the shocks in no time. Guaranteed.
