Well ..... I still feel it today but I pay $375 for 4 used wheels and they should get here this week and cure my pain IF I don't get rip off buy the seller.
Anyway the alignment of the car is off and I inspected the suspension are and they seem OK. The only problem is that the front end of the car mysteriously develops tire burning smell. I hope no oil is leaking..............STUPID ME!!!

I was driving into work in the snow as well this morning and hit the brakes and went straight out into traffic... Lucky me I missed everyone.... However in the extreem snowey conditions the ABS really sucks! So I thought to my self and removed the ABS fuse and really made an improvement. So I was thinking of installing a switch to turn the abs on and off... What do you think. This was in my 04 wrx

8k of damage (entire left suspension, forged 3 piece bbs wheels, driveshafts, tie rods, sways, eeeeeeverything, and the tow truck ripped off my bumper because he hooked it wrong as i was talking to cop)
understeer sucks, stay on the throttle and tap brakes

About a month ago I was out in my evo w/ stock advans and also slid into a curb. I tried to power away from it but ended up smacking both wheels into it. Ended up getting axle and hub replaced. **** happens especialy in teh snow when you are messing around.
