Coilover Corrosion

I've seen a few pics and comments here and there on coilovers concerning corrosion. It seems that some coil-overs are prone to rust, especially in the threaded adjustment sleeve. To everyone that has coil-overs installed on your cars (true coilover only, since that's what I'm interested in) - have you had a problem with corrosion?

Since I live in the great white north (Toronto), this could potentially be a big issue for me. Any comments or recommendations?

Damn. I'm always ragging on people that ask stupid questions without searching. I did do a search but I guess my keywords didn't bring up the right thread(s). I think using grease may do the trick as a preventative measure. I'd even like to get my hands on that rust-proofing gunk they use on cars. The thicker the grease, the more likely it will stay on.
