Default Bilstein shocks question

Anyone run the Bilstein shocks for awhile? How are they holding up? Looking to see how the exterior holds up with winter and salt??

Last set I bought rusted pretty bad in only a few weeks in the Michigan winter.

Here is my Excursions Bilsteins after 3 years of NJ winters, I live a block from the DPW and they salt my street enough to cure 1.000lbs of meat on a daily basis when there is a threat of frozen precipitation. All the front end components were new 3 years ago also.

I have had my 4600 series for over a year and they are holding up great.
