Reusing End Rubber Covers on Springs in Rear?

I have Ast coilovers and on vorshlags site it says not to reuse either of these rubber covers at the ends of the springs in the rear. But many other install vids they says to at least reuse the bottom one. What has everyone else done?

Either will work with the flat end springs. You shouldn't need the rubber isolators with coilover type spring as they should be allow to twist and turn.

Why should the function of the springs be any different than if stock? Why is it essential to not use the isolators with coils but why would the stoak springs have not just been made flat if idolaters aren't needed
