help with rear struts

[eclipse4431]

can someone guide me into the light. ive bought tein springs for my awd tsi 92. the fronts were really easy to put on but im having trouble with the rear. i cant get the bottom of the strut to come off. i tried everything that i could think of at the time. i think the bottom rubber bushing is dry rotted on it. wat should i do?

I'm going to guess here that yiu are having problems with your RR strut correct?
I had the same problem and i ended getting a blow torch and melting the bushing off.
Then after the strut comes out the metal collar will remain on there, so get some vise grips and keep turning the collar till it comes off.
Good luck
