I just bought a DAP hatch with Skunk2 Pro-S coilovers, they are terrible coilovers but I want to lower the car nonetheless..

The owner has the back end sitting higher than the front, around stock height? The perch rings are sitting all the way up almost. The bottom of the two rings came free with the tool provided, but the top ring that the spring SITS on is completely stuck..

I put a long pipe on the tool and actually bent the tool, sprayed it with all kinds of anti-corrosion ****, this thing just wont budge, also it feels wrong reefing on the shock when its installed on the car, the whole thing twists..

Any ideas??

 

Take the coil off of the car, and use a spring compressor then try it. If the coilover is all the way up it will be extremely hard to turn.

 

When I was reefing on it I could see the spring shifting independently of the perch, its just like the perch is welded on..

 

If you have soaked them already, and they won't come off you are most likely going to have to cut the collar off, and order a new one. You will have to clean up the threads as well cause I bet there is a lot of grit in between them. I suggest coating the threads with a clear silicone lubricant after that. Once this happens you really got to keep an eye on them because they will likely seize again after you put more miles on them.
