In need of some new suspension (shocks)
The ABS could be a number of things, but since the pump is working I would suggest checking to see if one of the ABS rings on the axles are missing teeth... it has been known to happen...
Ok, I didnt take a pic but the suspension is HKS Hipermax Coilovers and the drivers front seems to be the only one blown out. Think I should only get two new fronts or change everything out?
Terribly sorry to hear about your experience with the car thus far. The same exact thing happened to me when I picked up my Evo. Everything looked/performed/felt great when I bought it, and a week later it fell apart.
If I were you, I'd just get a set of struts/springs as mentioned earlier, and leave the coilovers behind.
Oh, and I know what you're saying with the strut/coilover thing. For those of you who don't know, older cars like Foxbody Mustangs, one had to buy struts separately, and then purchase a coil-over assembly to go onto the strut that you just purchased. Also, the strut strength had to be very closely matched to the spring rate used.

Likewise....I looked in there, and it appears that only one is different. This car has so many patches that its insane. The guy told a bunch of bs all around on the car but, Im stuck with it now and have to fix everything to make the car right again. Plus being I am mechanically inclined so I can do all the work myself.
Don't be an a$$ hat. People can hide things very well at the time of purchase. It happened to me, and many others that know their stuff.
What does hiding things on a car purchase have anything to do with someone that claims they're mechanically inclined, but seems to need help with basic repairs?
Clearly you're a *****, so I actually won't bother to prove my point, as you're just being ignorant.

I'm going to ignore AJCaron12 bc I don't feel the need to deal with ignorance at my age.
Anyway, going to have to buy new stuff:

What is looks like as of this morning after backing out of my driveway

Holy smokes :O How did that even drive? I wonder what kind of hit that was to cause damage like that.
+1 on the MR Bilsteins, here's some used ones that don't look too bad. Please note this is not my auction, just showing what's out there when searching.

Make sure to throw this up on an alignment rack once you get this replaced, who knows what else is out of whack.
