Keep corrosion at bay-->paint (if you really, really want to next time you have
them out--not an easy job).
Easy to keep clean-->water
Can't think of anything much worse than wrapping steel in plastic to encourage
rusting (right up there with undercoating). The Alfa springs were probably
dipped (and how do you know they're pristine under the tube/coating?).
Think I'd replace the muffler bearings first

Apropos the front springs, what are the group's thoughts on putting a plastic
sleeve on them, i.e. a half-inch or so inside diameter tube running the length
of the coil. My wife's Alfa has this arrangement and they are pristine.
