Default Anyone have Tein-SS coilovers?

Basically, what I want to know is if anyone is having problems with them rusting due to the weather, mainly snow, and the salt that is put on the roads to prevent ice. They are not teflon coated like the tein flex's but I hear they are just as good. So does anyone in an area where it snows have the Tein-SS coilovers, how long have you had them, and whats their condition now?

Everything will rust eventually. Wash the car after every trip to the grocery store or garage that bitch for the Winter if you want to prevent it. Life is attrition and there's no stemming the entropic tides.

what my friend did during the shitty jersey winters when he had them was spray wd 40 on them often to protect them from rusting it worked pretty well

silicone spray or wd40 will keep um nice and rust free. But they probably wont rust anyway
