    Default MADE A DUMB MOVE!!!! Need Advise

    i was driving the other day and i was the first rain i have seen in months. i wasnt thinking clearly and was still taking corners like it was 90 degrees and the tires were sticking like they should.

    long story short i lost control of my car and spun out around a round about and slid onto the curb. my stock side skirt got a little banged up and was wondering if either anyone is selling one at a reasonable price or when i can get one cheap!!!!

    thanks

    inspect the other stuff and make sure the front strut tubes arent bent and the suspension arms and crap are good in the rear. A bit of a bump can creat some simplistic but needed repairs.

    How does it drive? Did it mess up the alignment of the rear?

    all in all i had to change the front shocks, rims, and the draging link or something like that!!!! it ****ing sucked!!!!!

    the car drives moderatly straight but when i went to go get an inspection of the suspension before i bought new tires and did the whole speal the guy told me that the thrust arm bushings were out

    i wanna fix try to fix that myself but i dont know how hard its gonna be???? how much do they run???? i dont need the best, its not like the car is exactly new but i still love it
