Pulled off my old rear springs and struts to put on new ones. I got Eibach springs and Monroe Sensatrac struts. Now that I have everything apart, as you can imagine, there's a ton of surface/flaking rust all over the stuff I have to reuse. Anybody have any advice on the best way to get rid of this? Should I scrape the major stuff off with a wire brush, is the some rust solution I can soak it in etc? I was thinking of getting some black Tremclad paint to cover everything before I put it back together, unless somebody has a better option. Thanks in advance!
Found a pair on eBay for $40, but I'm going to have to drive to the States to pick them up. They wanted $40 for shipping and probably would have been nailed with another $20 for duty/brokerage.

You don't have parts stores in Canada, just asking because most of the parts stores down here carry anything I need for my 86 SE, in stock.

We have parts stores here, but the prices are usually at least double of what I can find online, so I've saved myself a ton of money ordering and picking up just across the border. My clutch up here sells for about $750 - $800 and I got it from FL for $425.

I hear ya.
I buy all my auto parts online from the States now. You've always got to plan ahead, and it's a nuisance crossing the border to pick up the parts, but man oh man it's a helluva lot cheaper.
