S1 Bilsteins - gaiters?

[jondude]

My S1's Konis are in need of change and it seems Bilsteins are the way to go. For the expense it occurs, it seems to me a good idea to fit gaiters to them, not least as they are not seen during use.

Or is this not a concern?

Gaiters are a good shout. Keeps crud off the piston rod, stops seals leaking. Makes sense on new Bilsteins.
