If they're split or cracked, definitely. It's probably a good
idea since you've got the shocks off anyway. Mine where in
tatters by the time I replaced my shocks.

Yes, you're going to find they are destroyed anyway. Don't use the
Mazda factory boots, order new ones with your shocks from the same
manufacturer.

FWIW the boots on my '97 were completely trashed when I replaced the shocks.
Also would recommend getting the Mazda boots as the bump stop is integral to
the boot, and is different front to back, the other brand items I could find
were the same front to back, as the bump stop is part of the spring rate on
a Miata I was concerned that other brand shock boots would adversely affect
handling. Being an AutoX addict I went with the Mazda boots.

Just to let you know the cost of OEM boots, I just picked up front and rear
boots from Trussville for my 97's impending KONI installation for
$23.16/ea-rear and $23.48/ea-front.
