First of all, I posted this thread but nobody had a opinion so that's why i made my own thread.

Hi there guys,
I hit my car a back while, now before i head back to Curacao from Holland (student) I'm shipping the parts from USA to Curacao cause unfortunately we don't have that many parts in Curacao.
From the picture #2 I already have on my list, the lower control arm (bent) , the tension rod that is clearly broken, the inner and outer tie rod just to be sure because i think it also bent. Car is a (JDM 180sx hatch 1995 sr20det)

But on the first picture that i posted i want to know.....if i buy the aftermarket lower arm, will i just have to take the sway bar off?....because to me it doesn't seem that it would fit on it.
The marked space is what's got me worried cause in the godspeed lower control arm i don's see the sway bar crossing?
Do you guys have any tips that i can take along?
Would really appreciate it

And here the pics!

I took a picture so u guys can see how badly i hit the car.

Last but not least I'm planning to buy the inner and outer tie rod for my car! Are there any sites that i could get these parts cheap?? thxx

Buy factory arms and you wont have to worry about the swaybar endlink not fitting on shitty aftermarket arms...

Gsp suspension arms sucks hard, forget about them.

Flaku buy stock arms for the front to replace. Buy ISIS suspension arms kit, and replace all the arms in the vehicle!

Thanks for all the replies m8's really appreciate it.
@ Croustibat The GSP lower arms suck that bad? what was your experience with them?
I would like to buy the inner tie rod from ebay, the only problem is that I'm not confident it will hold up (might break)...any suggestion?

The crossmember probably got messed up too.
It seems the passenger side always gets the holes oblonged.

material used is clearly shite, adjustment is bad, the thing somewhat always gets loose while driving (yes, i even used blue loctite, then red loctite). I suspect the material is not rigid enough and bends when force is applied. Oh and one of the ball joint lasted around 60 miles before developing play too.

Do as you wish, but i clearly am done with buying cheap stuff. These are not just gauge either, when they let go the car becomes undrivable very fast, which can result in a huge crash.

I am now using circuit sport stuff. Maybe not as good as SPL or the likes, but they work fine and take the abuse well. That and if pdm racing sells them with a lifetime warranty, they cant be that bad.
