ok ive got a 91 fastback with cusco coilovers and enkei RS evoloution (17x8 in the rear) and the other night i pulled off a offramp at highish speeds and hit a monsterous pothole ive never seen in my life that shook my heart and hit my head on the roof of my car (im 6 feet). i honestly never hit a pothole that hard in my life exp at speeds like that. i wake up the next mornin and start drivin my car and every bump the passenger side rear hits u hear a loud thump sound that it never used to make before. i have no idea what it is im really hoping its not my coilovers cuz i love them. and the rims arnt damaged either if anyone has ever ran into a problem like this help me out or if u think you know what it is help would be greatly appreciated before i go and tear my whole car apart and buy a whole bunch of shit

Jack up the car and check first. Could be a number of things. Check tension rods, LCA, balljoint, sway bar etc.

no0o0o i refuse to accept the fact that i blew a coilover . the cars in the air right now but i didnt really get to inspect it it feels the same as the other rear one when i push it up other than that i left it alone.

god forbid lets say i blew the coilover is there anywhere to get them rebuilt in NY? or do i have to send them back to cusco?
