it very typical out here in the north east
i suggest taking a metal hammer to the lower shock mount area. tap/bang against it all around while you soak into the threads with pb blaster. yeah you might dent that shit up a little. obviously, don't hit it so hard you break it. the idea is the vibrations unseize the threads.
after that i use the spanner wrenches and turn the spring perch and spring perch locking collar towards or away from each other, with the coilover fully bolted on. this is the only way i've ever gotten enough torque on the assembly to break that lower shock bracket loose. i've tried doing it by sticking a breaker bar into the lower mounting point and it never works for me. the coilover always spins too freely or my friend can't keep it from spinning with two measely spanner wrenches.
