14-07-09, 01:15 PM
depends what way it was hit lad wiether you would get away with a new tie bar and wishbone mount , measure the distance from the front panel on each side to determine how far its pushed back , if youve a jigg at work you should be grand get the rust sorted while your fixing it .

14-07-09, 02:41 PM
Its all bent at each end anyways, will be easyer to replace, plus it will open up any rust that might be hidden.

Shows what research you have done!

100% of the png say they look worse

They are slower than a 1.0 nova, so therefore its gonna be slower than your 1.2

The insuraqnce is cheap as a stock car, so as soon as you mod them it goes through the roof, alot more so than nova's?

I wouldn't but its up to you!
