Keep coilovers thru winter? or not!?

Im wondering how many people are running coilovers thru winter time if any? and how do you maintan them. In my area we get some snow but what is killing me is salt, i dont want them to get stuck on threds or get my springs rusted.

I have red swift springs with stock shocks. Which im thinking to put them on which i purchased over summer time, meanwhile i can clean up my coils and save them for summer.

what do you guys think?

If you have the ability to change it out, then why not?

I run mine! I was thinking of spraying a synthetic metal protection spray made by amsoil on mine. It worked nice on other metals in the winter for me in the past. It leaves a transparent protectant film on the surface.

the coilovers should be properly powdercoated or anodized so it should rust
