where and what did you put those things through to get them to rust! I put well over 30k+ miles on my last set of V3's about a third of that was track time in the South East... I saw no corrosion or rust at all. The things looked brand new minus some rubber that was stuck on them from sticky tires

This sounds like a very unusual problem I do not think I have heard of another report of them rusting like this. Do you have a ton of snow/salt on the streets in the wintertime?

Please give me a call and I would be more than happy to discuss what coilover options would be best suited for your car.

You put 10K+ track miles on a set of V3s without a rebuild? That's ALOT of track time. We track our cars a good bit and I don't think we have put that kind of mileage on a single set of shocks.

The southeast is probably the most car friendly place to live as far as climate goes. If a car/part is going to have a rust/corrosion issue it is likely to be in the north where they put salt on the streets to melt the snow.
