That sucks man! What kind of coils do you have?

 

ground controls. well i just went on a shopping spree so i feel a little better. check out my post in audio section

 

How did they brake... I was trying to decide between ground controlls or skunk 2's... would you recomend the ground controlls?

 

yea the clip just broke off on the shock causing the coilover sleeve to slam to the bottom of the shock. i was going too fast on a VERY VERY rough road

 

ya that one on my car is seized as well......... but if you havent snaped it... and just wanted to remove the LCA to replace the whole arm then you can try one of those striped bolt sockets which work GREAT! but use a BIG hammer to beat the socket on the head realy good and best to use a air impact gun with them!

but if your jsut removing the LCA to remove the strut assembly.... then you got 2 options... try the inner LCA bolt and remove it thier OR remove the upper camber arm... the 2 bolts that attach to the car. thats what i did with mine cause that bolt is seized.
only problem with removing that upper camber arm is you need to force the brake assembly down and then pull out the strut assembly... but its ALOT easier than doing all that work to replace them bolts!

 

i dont care if i tear the bolt up. i have new lower control arms and just want them on! ill buy a new bolt from honda

 

well problem with that bolt is the NUT...... very hard to get to cause its tucked up in thier....
ya might have to torch it to free that sleeve from the bolt. worst thing about that is if ya have ABS... flame >wires!

just be sure with ALL the bolts on your new LCA that you use ANTISEIZE lubricant on them all! threads and down the shafts... otherwise you could have this problem again
