 it will only postpone, dont know why but h+r is the only ones that paints =
there springs good, you could wash and wax em for years and they still look=
 new !! my intrax were a pretty purple, now about a year later they are a u=
gly rust color !!! if your concerned with anything more than looks, do not =
worry, the springs will never rust through, well not while you own the car =
anyway !!

I received my second-hand Eibach 5kcstq springs today. I was disappointed t=
o find that the paint had
worn off of some of the coils where they apparently touched. Where the bare=
 metal is revealed, there is
surface rust. The paint is flaking away from the exposed areas as well.

I don't much like that idea, rust on the springs. So, I'm interested in hav=
ing them powder coated to protect
them from further degradation. It's not terribly inexpensive, but since the=
y were originally apparently
painted, I'm thinking repainting them will just postpone this from happenin=
g again.

I would like to read any comments anyone has on this problem and my idea fo=
r a solution.

Thanks,

Ken
