I am getting 2 new tires and wheels. I bent the tie-rods and possiable damaged the axel (halfshaft). We think the strut is okay, but won't know until everything is back together.

Time estimate: 2 weeks. $$$: Don't know yet. It wasn't looking cheep though. Wheels and tires alone will be close to $700!

The car wouldn't start, so in my anger I kicked it. A lot. Think I went a little overboard?

And get a slower car? No way! Besides, could you go back to a stock suspension? Didn't think so!

I know what you mean.. driving a car that runs slower than 14.5 is just so sub par and not to mention looking down on civic owners from so high up in the air

i understand.. bad suggestions.. it would be better off for you to spend $3000 paint your car black than to drive a 14.6 sec SUV
