"Eibach is also known for it's wide knowledge of corrosion protection. Again, at our German plant, we also
have a complete powder coating line in-house which again speeds up deliveries. "

I guess they can "have knowledge" of corrosion protection, and just not apply it.  Not even fine print!

I just hope the damage that has already occurred isn't catastrophic.

I wonder what color I should pick.  Any suggestions?  I want to use a local place, since I've already paid
for shipping to me.  Had I known there was going to be rust like this, and I was still going to get them, I
might have opted to have them shipped straight to a coater.

I had a set of H&R's on my Saturn before, and they were a nice deep blue metallic that coincidentally
matches the paint on that car.  I don't know if those were powder coated or painted, but it looked good
while I had them.  I went back to stock with that.
