Question anybody/everybody with tein's SS full coilovers... pls read.

im in the market for springs/shocks and is considering the tein's SS full coilovers.
so:

owners with tein's SS full coilovers...

have you driven them in winter season? if have.... did you experience any problems with it?
'cause i live up here in canada... with snow, rain.. snow... snow.. and more snow. so just wondreing how they would hold out in winter season.

i heard it my stiffen or rust or its just wont turn... . but i think the person might be referring to the older tein models for the 6thegen. civics....

any comments related is helpful.
or just your experience with tein's ss coilovers itself.
thx.

I'm Installing My Tein SS this weekend, and to prevent any kind of rust I'm gonna put WD-40 on the threads during the summer/spring time. and before the winter I'm gonna apply a pretty thick amount of grease to the threads. the threads are the main thing I worry about rusting, so I'll keep a close eye on them. as for the rest of the assembly the green paint should keep the rust away for a couple years. I hope. I'll probably be putting grease on a lot of the parts when I Install it anyhow, it couldn't hurt...

I don't think many people had their Teins on in the winter. Most people started to get them this year in the late winter/early spring.

Yeah I plan on going with Tein.

After doing all the research, I find this to be the best suspension for ours cars. I live in Atlanta though and the winter is not very harsh so that I do not have to worry about. I do believe Tein would have some sort of rust-warranty though if that was to happen.
