H&R coilovers stuck can't raise them

Ok so I am new to civics but have a 600 hp wrx with coilover as well and they adjust very easily. Ok so I took the wheels off and have the wrenches to adjust everything. But these mo fo's are seized on there I am wondering if there is anything that I need to loosen besides the lower locking nut. I put pb blaster on it to see if it would free it and it hasnt. Do I need to loosen the suspension from the top mountin point so the coil can spin. I have Tiens on my subaru and they adjust so much easier than these H&R's if anyone can help please do.

Cheap coilovers + road salt + moisture = seizure.. Removing them might make it harder as they will try to spin while your doing it. He is pretty much stuck at the height it's set at.

Freeze spray may help in getting it loose.

Or a little heat and then freeze.

Since when are H&Rs cheap?



But heat, and freeze, combined with liberal amounts of PB Blaster should do the trick, if not, see if a shop can do something about it.

Didn't check to be honest. I don't know much about 6th gen civics and HNR don't offer (from what I know) for the 7th gen. But if they are seizing they obviously aren't that good.
