crashed my car a month ago & just got it back

so i was taking a left hand turn @ a light after exiting off the 15n, going bout 30mph in the rain, *** end slid out, i couldn't get control back, and ended up slammin into a curb, breaking one rim & bending another beyond repair. i've broke traction in the rain many times before and was always able to recover with ease so i was like WTF?! so i limped the car back home bout a 1/4 or so, looked under my car, and most of the tires were showing threads on the inside. i just got my alignment done @ mistsubishi in scottsdale, arizona 6 months ago & the tires didn't look like that. thought they'd be good for a while so i never bothered to check since . well after all was said & done i finally got it back w/some 18x9's w/245/40 compliments of my deductable @ geico. luckily nothing was bent on my suspension.







originally ordered the d2's but they got canceled cuz weren't gonna get a shipment in till january. so i settled for what they had in stock for now.


...*update*: just put on IX tails later the same night. got em in the mail when it was still in the shop.

Can we convince you towards some killer dampers and springs?
The stock EVO dampers put the car into a mode of swapping ends without letting the driver know.
Glad its back together at least!

yup, and that's exactly what happened. already looking into getting some coilovers. jus waiting for the best deal on a set or tax returns. i'm looking for something round the lines of jic magic's, tein flex's, hks', etc.. none of those cheezy ***** like ksports or anything.
i got some tein s-tech's in the garage right now but i'm debating whether to install em cuz i've been hearing some bad stuff bout them. but if i do, they'll just be temporary till i can get a good set of coilovers.
