I'm sorry for your car. ;-)

I'm a Rochester native and my SE-R did 3 winters in Rochester.  It's still
suffering from them.  Where are you from?

Oxidation on any bare aluminum could become a problem, but with weekly
attention (you wash your car once a week in the winter don't you?), you
should be able to mitigate any problems.  I could actually be pretty
cool.  You could have summer springs and winter springs.  In winter you
could get springs an inch longer and even raise the car an inch or two
higher than stock to get through some of the snow.  And you can get pretty
low rates too for a cushy ride in the winter as well.
