The Spax ones suffer from corrosion too though don't they? Problem is, coilovers aren't really suited for road cars, unless you go for your FK Silverlines or HK's. They need to have high grade stainless bodys and high grade anodized aluminium bodys beecause you can forget what you learned in chemistry, aluminium does corrode if exposed to the shite that you get on roads.

Going off my expereince with my mates and mine, i had rear seats, greased them up when fitted and they were fine for 2 and a half years. Mate has had them on his corsa over 3 years now and there still fine, im sure all products fail now and again if not looked after.
silverlines are stainless Rob so yeah
