Default Place/person to lower car?

Hello , I have a 1995 Accord EX Sedan and Koni Reds / Intraxx 2.0" Lowering Springs (already mounted on struts). A knowledgeable friend and myself were trying and found out that the rear bolts that go through the fork were stuck, absolutely stuck..so i'm trying to figure out another place to do it.

Any reccomendations anywhere in the state of Virginia preferrably in the central Virginia area, but not necessarily, please post..

Or any individuals whom feel that they can bypass the stuck/frozen/stubborn bolts..post up

Thanks - not looking to spend as much as the only shop around here charges ($100/corner)

I'll do $50 a corner.

You may have to drill out the stubborn bolts and just replace them with new ones. Good luck

I'd pay you $200/job with everything said and done, but i'm assuming you're private, and don't have access to a shop, or any tools. With that being said, I'm a little worried the same thing will happen with the last guy I tried to do this with - I drive for a lonnng time only to have my rear bolts be dead in the water.

However, if you think you can do it regardles let me know..

I know more impatient can do it...he doesn't have a shop to work in but he does have the tools. He didn't break mine when we put my springs on.

I'll pay whatever it takes short of what local shops are looking for, but I can't stress enough that these bolts are..fucking stuck. I've heard people drilling em out, torching em, etc.. but the thing is is that I simply can't afford gas money and time to drive all the way down to VA beach where most of you live only to hear that the rear bolts are stuck..

With that being said, if you're positive you can deal with bolts that are often times required to be drilled out or heated/cracked - bolts that break socket sets and breaker bars as well.. then post up.

Sorry to sound like a dick, if I did - but these things are stuck and I can't stress that enough.

Thanks..
