As far as rusting goes, I live in Rhode Island where they go absolutely nuts with salt in the winter and I DD'd my car every winter and never had any problems.
I would highly recommend Ohlins R&T's with Swift springs if you're looking for a set of Coilovers.

because there are so many better options in that price range. |
I'm curious as to what those are. For $2500 to $3000 what is a better option than the Ohlins R&T with Swift springs that will be liveable on the street and can perform well on track. The Ohlins R&T's are a very high level damper and with proper spring rates will out perform dampers almost double its cost
MCS Singles are over $3000 when you include springs and the other stuff needed to actually install them. Not to mention the would not hold up to DD duty as they are made of aluminum and will rust
The AST 5100's are not on the same level as the Ohlins and the 5200's are far more expensive
JRZ RS Sports are over $3000 when you throw in the springs and height adjusters and are again made of aluminum
TC Kline Singles are not on the same level as the Ohlins. The Doubles are but they are also a lot more expensive
The Only Dampers KW makes that can compete with the Ohlins are the V3 and in track they are equals for sure but on the street the 2-way V3's are not as good as the Ohlins, you would have to step up to the 3-ways which not only more expensive than the Ohlins but are also far more complex
