Suggestion for winter suspension

So I forked out a good chunk of change last summer to get Tein SS-P coilovers for my 96 sedan. I dont want to get them all nice and rusty/dirty during the winter and I was curious on what your opinions are for an alternate suspension setup to use during the winter. I didn't drive my car this winter and I'm thinking ahead of time b/c i'll be driving next winter.

I have 2 options in mind:
1) stock shocks with pro kit or tein springs
2) stock shocks with GC coilovers

I still want to stay a little lower than stock height. I'd prefer to use the GC coils on stock shocks, but I'm not sure if I'll run the risk of blowing my shocks. Opinions please!

Depending on how low you go and the condition of your stock struts. I'd say go with the springs so you wouldn't be tempted to drop lower lol.

I'm kind of contemplating the idea of getting spirngs is because I had a spring/shock

Haha, good point. I'm kind of contemplating the idea of getting springs because I had a spring/shock combo before my coilovers and I was kind of annoyed because even though it wasn't noticeable, the car wasn't perfectly even on all 4 corners.

My only real concern in this matter is that I don't know how well the stock shocks will last with GC coilovers. I don't really want to buy another set of shocks
