and your post contributes in what way? thats what i thought. how can i see if there is oil on the pavement going around a corner at dawn? by the time i came to grab traction it slung me the other way, and on top of that its a one lane road so no time to recover.

i mean i dont want to sell it, but if i fix it im thinking really hard on picking up a evo X, when i get back from deployment, or just keeping the 8, and modding it to hell alot more.
Camber kit can fit all the camber issues. As long as it drives straight and solid that's what would matter the most.

As long as you stay with an evo you'll be in good hands!

thanks for the back up man, im actually getting alot of info here, but i know i wont get a determinate answer because you guys cant see the car or test it, but im just getting some opinions on it. i would so take it to the frame shop, but im in the deployment center getting ready to leave out for a year, so hopefully i get her done for my vacation time lol

thats what i was thinking, a camber kit. and of course i wont go away from evo! i have been in the service for almost 9 years before i got out. i wanted the evo 8 when it first came out, but i been over seas in germany, and finally i grabbed the car i ALWAYS wanted since i was in high school. and i got it, and the i broke it lol. so its gonna sit for a longggg time maybe 6 months till its gets touched again. but i am thinking of grabbing a X or a 9, or just modding the 8 to hell

I have done the same thing before albeit a different car. I actually just replaced the lower control arm and had an alignment done for the suspension part of it.

ahhh ok, well hopefully is just suspension and not frame, but i been getting some good news tho. people say it has to be a big hit for the frame to twist, and all i really did was hit a curb, and since i have sun roof, thats the weakest point, so it gave in. lol.... but yea we will see soon when i ship her to the shop. and i will report back asap
