s14 hit a curb

i recently ate the curb with my S14 and now it's not even driveable . i figure since the cars already messed up i might as well get the performance things i need. only thing is im not really sure what all can be upgraded but the replacement parts are as follow:

RR lower control arm, knuckle and bearing (?knuckle and bearing?)

Right front bent strut. (i plan on getting coil-overs)--- a bent inner tie rod needs rack and pinion

left front strut rod mounting bracket---- 2 front strut rod bushings

The shop is trying to charge me around 2G's to get it all fixed. If anyone knows any websites i can go to, to find these parts it would be greatly apreciated.

I got two s13 flca for 85 shipped brand new. S14 costs more, but if you have time you may want to see if he has any s14 in the next few days. other wise fr sport might carry s14.

I would install all of it yourself unless you just don't know how or don't have tools to do it. Good luck cause I hit a curb also about two months ago.

FUCK, no wonder people make fun of this site on other boards, who cares if you hit a curb. I dont. Also I don't care what you want to buy with your money.

Probably cuz of ppl like you posting worthless comments and and expressing your retared opinion that nobody cares about

Him telling us that he hit a curb helps us to identify whats happend and maybe catch somthing else that might be wrong/broken that he missed

I feel for you bro. I hit a curb wit an s14 too. Dont feel too bad about the price...mine cost about double what the shop is charging you just because my airbags went off and I broke the A-arm.
Def check any junkyards in the area or the people who are parting out s14s

exactly the problem, when I left, there were those people, but now when I come back, there are those people, and the people that support them. pshhh

O, and sorry, let me "help" him catch something that he may have missed. Go borrow some money and go to splparts.com then you can upgrade anything you want and theres even diagrams to show you how much chrome you can actually throw in there.

Didn't someone just hit a curb a month ago? Stop hitting curbs dammnit!

Really though, swap all of the parts yourself and you'll save $$$ b/c shops will charge you up the ass for labor. Its also a good way to learn how to take apart your car and maybe you'll also learn not to hit curbs anymore

Save the money, do it yourself

parts arent that expensive just pull them for a car in the junk yard. hopefully having to replace these parts will dieter you from doing stupid stuff on the streets in the future.
