Default anybody know where....?

anyone know where i can get some coilover rings. i have the tein basics. i have four of them siezed. and nothing can get it removed. my last and only choice is to cut them off. but i need to buy 4 new rings to replace them with. i went to the tein website, but i cant find any. i dont want to buy some random brand ring cuz i dont wanna risk them not fitting. and plus it'd be kinda sketchy. so, i wanna get the tein rings. i live in torrance, ca. i would much rather pick them up in person rather than having them shipped to me. i've had bad(very bad) experiences with shipping stuff to me. thanks for any info

yeah stuck coilover rings is a pain try letting them soak with a heavy duty penetrated oil, also you could always use a torch to heat them up a bit to expand them. Otherwise hit up tein for new ones.

yeah, ive done all that. soaked it in wd40. then pb blaster, then liquid wrench. and even in a bucket of coke like what jasperash did to his coilovers. none worked. i had my friend's dad blow a torch on it(he's a mechanic) and that didnt even do the trick. he was the one that suggested cutting the rings and buying new ones. ill see if i can call tein and see how much they would be.

Might try cold soaking the shocks then trying the torch on the rings, try one shock and see if it works.
