Crash!!!
Well we have some bad news....crashed. The STI is in the shop. I lent my car to a friend, and on that day it just happend to rain, he didnt know about our summer tires and took a trun a little fast and tapped the gas, and well good bye STI. There isnt to much damage, but i am going to need your help...my friend doesnt want to go through insurance and wants to pay for the damage in cash, so here is what i am going to ask of you all. I know stock oem parts are going to be more exspensive than aftermarket, but i dont know how much the used oems would cost, so tomorow i will know exactly what i need, and i am wondering who i should talk to to get quotes on aftermarket replacements, oem replacements, and even used oem replacements...does anyone know who i could talk to?

My guess (assuming minor front end damage, no airbags, no broken windshield) is that you/your friend is looking at about $10K including labor. If you have the radiator pushed back far enough, you may have also cut the timing belt. This could lead to another ~$5K due to internal engine damage. Would the car start after the wreck?

Naw it isnt like that, luckly he hit the curb so hard he jumped it and it only left sespension damage, the back right wheel is litterally like the car from back the the future, the is absolutly no external damage except surface scrathes from the plants that he hit, and there is no frame damage, i know what i basically damaged but i need the complete print out, the estimated 5k if i use subie parts...however i am going to try and reduce that number by using after market parts, plus the shop that is doing the work is probably going to end up sponsering my car, so they are going to do all the labor for free and help out with the parts if i change them to aftermarket peices.

Well here is what i know i need...i need two new brembo rotars and calapers one for the right frount and the other for the right rear. Then i need pretty much every suspension peice that you can imagine for the back right wheel because it is back to the future style and everything is bent and twisted on it except for the sway bar. I also need a new back right drive shaft, and last of all i need new upper and lower controll arms for the right frount and rear...i am pretty sure that i am getting over charged, so please tell me what i should be paying for these parts....all of the are oem.

dude, face it, youve totaly tweaked your frame. If youve broken or bent your wheels calipers, rotors and every suspension arm you dont just replace those pieces and go on your merry way, thats just not the way it works. Im not trying to be a *****, but you are just going to have to suck it up and have your insurance handle it and get it professionally repaired. Do you really want to make payments on a wrecked car for the next 5 years of your life?

No man...i am having it perfessionally done, the shop that is sponsering my car is going to do all of the work for the car, i am just trying to see if i can find the parts for cheaper, cause he doesnt have any oem sti hook ups...and the frame is fine, there is no damage to it.

I think there's a fair chance that your sub-frame or unibody is now out of spec due to the impact. That's a lot more suspension damage than people get when just getting curb rash on their wheels.
