DG Koni coilovers

Dust boots seem like a great moisture trap to help hasten corrosion.

Lol. I don't know was a fitting emoticon for that comment. You would grease anything corrodable under it. It would also help keep moisture out vs having none and idk driving in the rain?

Who drives in the rain? jkjk

Even if you were to grease the piston shaft it would come off completely after full compression.

I just had a brain fart. Give me a few days . I think I might have a cheap solution to the torrington bearing rust issue.

A Teflon spacer might be a good compromise, but I'm not sure where you'd find that.

I just wanted to add my 2 cents on the coilover bags. Most of the stage rally guys swear by them. Sure you're not racing at 100 mph down gravel roads shooting rocks into everything. But what they do besides protect from gravel is important too: they keep extra dirt, rain, water, snow, etc off of the coilover. They can cover just the spring or all the way down to the knuckle to protect future threads that may be needed during a ride height change.
These bags if made properly tighten at the top and bottom so minimal elements are allowed inside. Yes they do breathe, so they will let moisture in but with no bags that moisture is going to be there anyways. They do not trap the moisture in as they do breathe anyways. Some of them have a scotch-guard coating which helps repel excess moisture too.
You can also make these for much cheaper than buying if you can sew. A sewing machine helps but is by no means necessary.
Most of the stage rally guys get their coilovers serviced every few events. Some teams that's once a year, another team might be 2 or 3 times a year. After doing mine after 4 rallycross events without bag and now getting ready to after 7 more, I can definitely say they are much cleaner and will be much easier to do

I doubt these help the rusting bearing situation, but may slow it. They would probably help more with the threads and set screws from freezing/rusting and make ride height adjustments easier.
