Bought a set of these in november last year, make sure you protect them by applying protection wax before puting them on. I did this once on the car and the area in which couldnt get to rusted badly on the springs and had to take them off and get the surrplyer to give me new set.

They will need regaular cleaning otherwise could be good chance may seize!!

Waxoil is the best stuff to use.

Do you just put it on the springs ? also if i clean them, i.e jet washed archers etc would i have to re-apply every time.

thanks

Nope on the threads, most of it should stay on when you clean them.
