Will they fit Tokico blues/HTS or Koni? I notice that mine are falling apart. Anyone goes w/o strut boots when upgrading?

I think they're universal.  I wouldn't think the basic design of the struts would change so much from company to company to make a basic boot not fit.  They're just slipped on and zip-tied tight.
You can omit boots, but I wouldn't...a scratched strut shaft might possibly lead to a blown strut.

They are all universal fit.  I put my stock ones on my KYB's.  Don't use the struts without boots on them.  They'll get dirt on them and cause the seals to wear out faster and thereby you'll start leaking and blown strut and just start all over.  Don't get these from nissan though as they will rob you freakin blind for them.  Look online for some aftermarkets.
