Undoing Tough Bolts!

Hi Guys,
Just trying to fit my lovelly new Cusco strut bar and I'm having a hell of a time undoing those 3 bolts on top of the struts so I can put my strut bar on. Are these bolts under any pressure? My dads nicked the car with a good socket set in it too, so I'm stuck with a shifter 
Anyone around Hornsby, bored and have a good socket/strong arm set they want to lend me for the arvo?
I may just have to put this little project on hold until my Dad gets home tomorrow with the socket set

use a socket, a shifter will only round the nuts.
use a breaker bar if you have one
shouldnt be too hard to get off

wd40 is crap, get a proper penetrating lube.
good shit like 'yield' does wonders.

N/A SW20's actually only have 1 diagonal support, not the 2 that your Turbo version does, so it makes tonnes of difference for me, for yours probably not so much.

What am I going to do with "TEH LOVEMAKER"? Surely the "White Bar Of Doom" would have helped out more
