Do RS*R coilovers rust?
Does anyone know how corrosion resistant RS*R coilovers are? I'm seriously considering the RS*R Sports-i but am a little concerned about eventual rusting. I can't find any info on what material the shock bodies are made of.

Are they painted or anodized everywhere? I'm thinking for the most part, if the surfaces are covered they SHOULD be ok. Although, keeping them clean will be the biggest factor in whether they corrode or not.
|
They appear to be painted, but I'm not 100% sure. I'm mostly concerned about the threads rusting and seizing. RS*R doesn't specify whether they use any kind of anti-corrosion coating on the threads.

Thin coat of anti-seize and regular cleaning with air compressor and brush. Coilovers are not maintenance free. Anytime you put two unlike metals together, without cleaning/maintenance they will eventually fuse together, coating or not.

Coilovers = race hardware = needs constant inspection and maintenance
