i have a set of coilovers, and they have come with a external protection spray in the box, but unfortunately it leaked in the box.

what do you use to protect the coilover bodies from oxidising/corroding and the locking rings from seizing?

copper grease?

white grease???

silicone spray?

hopefully someone has come across this!

cheers

not alot, just keep them oiled with thin oil.

grease just makes all the shit stick to them

i used to get shocks in that people had wrapped electrical tape round the threads, looks shit but works

light oil is prob best as grease etc makes alot of dirt stick to them but it does protect them!

i used white grease but you had to jetwash it off if working anywhere near the coilover so not to get covered.

I had some Gaz shocks which are plated last all of 300 miles looked very grotty after that

ACF 50, is best as used on F15E's etc by USAF, pricey but works well, in a motorcycle shop near you.

Demon theives do coil over covers for off road stuff maybe these would be ok ??
