Default Tein SS

I was reading on the TEIN site that the FLEX models are coated to resist corrosion. I am looking at buying the SS for my EK hatch and i live in indiana which means salt salt and more salt. Should i consider getting the FLEX instead or will the SS handle this weather problem?

i just put anti-seize on my threads on the ss. I'd rather have the flex though cuz the ss is a little soft and i want pillowballs.

Pillowballs are metal plates that mates up to the frame of your car. THe factory one is made of rubber but aftermarket pillowballs are made of metal.

Here is a pic and description of pillowballs:
