my ksport lower strut body things are SEIZED!!
ok ive been battling this problem for quiet awhile... but yea.. my ksport air bag lower body portion is seized..
i want to shorten the body so that i can drive lower at the same PSI but the only thing stopping me is the seized body..
any tips?
ive tried using penetrating oil, used more leverage (didnt work cuz itll just rotate the whole shock), n yea

If it's really on there GOOD, then you will need to remove them from the car. I had this happen to me before when I worked on someones car that had not touched the coilovers for 3-4 years. I put one end in a vice and use a bar with hammer on the other end lol
