Poke around the suspension section, there's a few good options in your price range. I'd look at the ST coilovers, KW V1 and RCE Tarmac 0. I'm not sure how good the ST's will be in winter though, but the other two should hold up great.

Stay away from sleeves, you're far better off with a quality set that has the dampening rate matched to the spring rate.
Stainless coating? If the shock body is aluminum it will be anodized. If it is steel it will be painted.

If it is made from stainless steel (unlikely) it won't need a coating.
