Has anyone in the northeast, Canada, or anywhere that gets subjected to salt\snow had any issues with their ST's? I'm trying to decide which sub $1000 coils to go with in the spring. I am between these and the Bilstein B14's. I'm on Pro-kit now and want another 1/2-3/4" drop. If there's concern with rust or whatever, can't the outside housings just be sprayed with some type of protectant paint to prevent corrosion?

Is there pros\cons between ST\Bilstein B14 that anyone is aware of? I do not track, just daily driven.

Found ST's for $698 shipped. I don't need them until April but that's a good deal, I might pick them up after more research.
