Winter Prep

Protecting coil-overs and other parts of the car for winter.

Due to changes to suspension geometry, my thought is that swapping back to stock suspension would involve excessive alignment adjustment twice a year, on top of autox/hpde prep.

Some forums including NASIOC suggest T-9, which I can pick up locally.
Some suggest 'any spray on anti-seize'.
Some suggest Permatex in the bottle with the brush.

What do you guys suggest for winter coil over protection, and overall; anti-seize protection? What else are you doing to your mid-west cars besides garaging them (out of question for me this generation, maybe next car)

My thought is to remove the strut from the lower body, then the collars, then the spring and spray everything lightly with T-9. Then re-assemble. I can do this each fall...
