oh man, that really is unfortunate. Definitely blame on the crash for this premature failure. Also, harass FIG to make you a new balljoint. He has one already mocked up too... it should be an upgrade from stock and it's also been battle tested on the track (although our streets is rougher environment).

man I bet you that is perhaps what happened! This sounds way to messed up to happen right after i get rear ended !! I'll call tomorrow morning.....

I completely understand the frustration. From your car's perspective, its not her fault. A Ferrari or a Honda minivan would be just as likely in the same spot. Backed into, keyed, rear-ended -- things happen in 3's, right? So you're all good now.

Have your insurance wrap this up for you -- that's what you pay 'em for, and start planning your next set of wheels! Beautiful car, man...KEEP IT!

I wannted to buy a Gloria gt ultima but not happening now lol but I will be going either airrunner or platinum VIP phantom cup. I got a shop that quoted me 3400 installed for the decade kit and phantom cups with coilovers I want will be about 3200-3300. Wheels I have no idea yet I don't know if I want 19s or 20s again


But as of right now my wheels and suspension WILL be coming off along with my big brake kit and RCAs . Stock wheels and suspension for a while with awesome paint ehhh how ghetto lol

I am sorry to hear about your accident. Don't let it get you down.

Your car was one of the reason my wheel choices have changed so many times.
Can't seem to find the same wheels.

I know exactly how you feel. I had a similiar situation happen to me before i decided to buy a GS.

well if you decide to sell the wheels let me know. But if not good luck with the next phase.

I would get rid of that car immediately after you fix it and find a different one. It's got the same curse my last car had and it just kept on getting beat up, even when i had it parked in a parking lot at work.

Sorry about what happened to your car, but i just had to ask this one question!
Have you ever had sex in that car before? If yes, then that explains it all.

Sorry about your troubles. I have always liked your car and wheel set-up. Just take some time and I am sure everything will work out. G/L.
