Default strut and shock removal problem in my DA

ok so i have a 92 integra and im installin coilovers. i did the rears and front right side with little no problems. now im on the front left side. i cant take the assembly out with the strut connected which makes it too long to take out because the camber is in the way. i tried loosening the bolt, WD-40 impact gun, normal wrench with breaker bar, it didnt even budge. now the bolt is for the most part stripped. is there any other way to take out the assembly?????

around here that's not considered slammed. what you did is actually keep some suspension travel. HT considers slammed dragging on the ground, tucked and other non functional setups. yours is fine

"if you ain't tuckin', you ain't slammed"


At least that's what they say!

lol okay my car isnt "slammed" i just meant my car was pretty low for how it sits and then again the picture compared to in person is 2 different things cause cameras tend to have its effect. but yeah aside from that .. thats how she sits now.
