Best way to protect the coilover threads?

[Smurfen]

Im guessing some coilover "socks" will work best but don't wanna bother with those...

cover them in teflon? copper grease?

Mine after 2 Canadian winters and 40,000+kms.

I stray lube on them before winter, and clean them up in the spring. SS FTW.

Don't use grease because it actually attracts dirt, use some kind of lube spray/penetration fluid (so many jokes, so little time...) as that won't hold big pieces of dirt.

I know FK and some other brands make protection spray specificly designed for coilovers. Might be worth looking into

I know it's pretty ghetto, but WD-40 works pretty well on my stainless steel H&Rs. The WD stands for "Water Displacer", so it keeps away corrosion.

1. Buy KW's
2. Koni has a spray to prevent seizing and corrosion,probably similar to WD40 but haven't tried it myself.

I've always used PB Blaster on steel threads, and WD-40 on aluminum setups. I'm sure either is interchangeable, but the aforementioned has worked for me very well. I built a coilover setup for my '92 Eclipse GS-X rally car using AFCO aluminum coil sleeves and Tokico Illumina struts, even after a season of hard driving in sand, mud and salted snow, they turned almost effortlessly and were easy to disassemble every time.
