Mine were seized 2 years ago, my mechanic put a torch on the perches and a couple mins after they were free. make sure not to heat up one area for too long, use strokes just like when you're painting.

I have a feeling mine are seized up this season...

are you referring to the heigh adjustments being seized?

that happened to mine and my shop said they couldnt free them up. they said they would ahve to saw the perches off and put on new ones.

i said screw that and am leaving it at the height it is...

I would remove the coilover assembly from the car and put a set of spring compressors on the coils to relieve the pressure on the adjustment nuts (or whatever they're called).
