Note that KW claims their INOX line has superior corrosion protection to zinc plated steel. Well, duh.

How come KW claims they INOX coat some of their product but not other stainless steel product? Why don't they test those two products!

Cosmetic eye dandy designed to attract extra dollars from the ignorant.

And actually, if you read the product information KW doesn't actually claim their INOX line is coated at all. And furthermore, coating stainless steel would increase its susceptibility to corrosion so I think racecompengineering just assumes it is some sort of coating. Stainless steel must be exposed to air to retain its chromium surface to remain corrosion free. So I call bullshit on the claim that anybody " coats" stainless steel to protect it from corrosion. See for example the paint experts at:

You haven't answered my question about INOX coating on stainless steel. What's it supposed to achieve? According you that Euro INOX link corrosion protection has nothing to do with INOX coating, it's just a way of colouring stainless steel, which is quite difficult BTW.

When are you going to give up with your ill informed, and frankly stupid personal attacks? You give every appearance of being one of the idiots you're signature refers to.

No one cares that you think you can use google to sound smart.

Does any of your blabbering change the fact that the OP should buy corrosion proof coilovers for where he lives? No? Then shut up and stop ruining this thread.
