It's not the car you drive, it's how you drive it.

I would change em... I did my seals. It requires a lot of pushing down on the lens but it's not impossible

I couldn't get the lenses to snap close once the new seals were in. I struggled with each one for probably 20 min before I gave up.
It seemed the old seal was still sufficient.

Survived my first use of a spring compressor.
How do I remove this spring perch? (Is it a perch? I'm a suspension noob.) I want to say that it screws off the threads, but it doesn't want to budge.

Take a torch to the perch, get it hot, and strike it with a rubber mallet. Should spin free.

Why are you removing it. Your coilovers won't use that.
