Re: coilovers

Spray WD-40 liberally and jack your car way up in the air. You took your wheels off right? I know you don't have to in the front but I've always had to in the rear.

Re: coilovers

I usually spray mine with WD-40 after I wash it weekly. Helps prevent future problems.

heat it up with a torch, just don't heat the shock up too much.

Re: coilovers

Try some liwuid wrench man..or penetrating lube (same stuff), and a little bit of uhh..shock force I used two very large prybar screwdriver things...worked for me, car was actually sitting almost an inch lower on the right side and 2 inches higher in front! After the lube use some heat, but careful..that stuff is really flammable!
