Does anyone have H-sport control arms and deal with salt in the winter?

I posted this in another subforum and it didnt get enough attention so i figured I would try here. Im interesting in getting these control arms however we get alot of salt in upstate NY. Does anyone have these and can let me know how they hold up?

The Hsport camber links are our best selling links and we've had a ton of people in areas that get snow and salt with luck. We do recommend you make sure to have anti seize on the adjustment threads though.

You might try a product called http://www.fluid-film.com/. Can be found as a spray can or brush on application on Amazon or ebay and handy for other under car parts or yard tools in general.

Thanks for the link. The spec sheet says it can cause "natural" rubber to swell. Does anyone know what type of rubber is commonly used in the bushings?
