Today im trying to adjust the coilover for a little bit more of lower . but we came across the problem ,,, THe coilover is megan racing.. for some reason the first perch seem to compress againt the spring and it didnt want to turn down....even after we manage to get the below perch to loose and turn to the right...but the upper perch seem like it compress by the spring and we try PB , using as much force as we can... it coming to the point where i will go and take the car to the shop and let them take it out for me any help ?

PS: it came with the car when i bought it with KA motor..now got SWAP SR20DET

Spring compressors or get a t shirt and wrap it around a screwdriver, and tap it with a hammer

You're going to need a lesson in grammar too.. Its pretty hard to follow what you're saying. Try some PB Blaster. Did you at least remove the coilover and try working on it outside of the chassis?

or get some actual spanner wrenches(right tool for the job) and see if you can gen enough leverage to spin it loose.

I had a similar problem with my Tein HE's
used the hollow lever of my jack for added leverage
it budged eventually but even then it was a pain

how u do it..what a step. or process step of doing it...outside or inside the car, what do u use..pb or what..i just want to saw the stupid damn thing off....and get new perch...man we try everything...i push and a friend pull so the upper perch will turn to right which is going down and away from the force of compressing down by the spring..today i check and we fucked up the perch badly where you insert the wrench in to adjust it..still no luck
