S13 hatchback: New coilover or new shell?
My 91 S13 hit the right rear side first on a concrete wall at about 30-40mph at the track and then rebounded and hit the front left wheel.
The right side tie rod was broken. The right side front lower control arm and tension rod were bended. I replaced the tie rod, front lower control arms, and tension rods and went to the alignment shop. The alignment shop technician told me that the front right tire is rubbing the coilover, and asked to go to a body shop for assistance. Then, the body shop technician took a look and he thought the coilover might be bended and needed to be replace. These are the pictures after I replaced the tie rod, front lower control arms, and tension rods.

I am thinking maybe I should find some narrower rims for avoiding the rubbing coilover issue. This is my drift car and we will have a drift event in a month. I just want to know what is my best option right now. Thanks for the advise. |
