ST Coilovers and corrosion?
Well, I have a connection at a custom car shop and can get ST V1 coilovers for me at a great price. My dilemma, I live in Indianapolis where we use salt on the street in the winter. Now my car is garage kept and only gets driven about 5k a year, I have a "company" car I drive daily. It does see a fair share of winter driving but much less than most of course. Do I need to worry about corrosion on the ST's? Would I have to use caution on when I drive it in the winter?

I would coat the threads on the coils with antiseize if I was in your position.

I can get the ST's for about $850, just under my budget. Looks like the cheapest KW will almost double that...ugh.

Just spray this on them and they will never rust.
