If you want to protect the threads, I don't suggest WD-40. In fact all WD-40 is good for is unsticking the odd nut or bolt, it's not a part of regular maintenance or car care IMO. Use something thick like axle grease or maybe anti-seize compound. Look up the DIY in here, I forget which of the suspension gurus wrote it (boilermaker? was it you?) but it should give you a better idea of how to protect your suspension. Myself I just used a wack of grease on the threads and will wash them off this spring. If you clean off the coilovers diligently and regularly enough youy won't have to worry about seizing.
