My 99 EK doesnt like the snow to much since its 3 inches off the ******* ground might be lower but its beside the point.

We got a fair amount of snow in the northwest on the streets. I trying to make it home to park the civic and i hit a frozen piece of ice/snow/rock at about 25-30 directly to my front right tire/bumper. The lip and bumper got scraped and crakced a lil bit and its no big deal BUT!!! The front wheel now sits about 1 inch maybe a .5'' back in the wheel well then the front left and of course now it pulls hard to the right.

GSR solution?!?!? i have a full GSR front and rear brake set up with Front LCA's and all and was wondering when i swap the breaks will the GSR front LCA's do the trick and straighten things out.

PLease help or give a sugestion. I can take a pic if it will help.

i need some help.....

 

here is your answer: look under the car for what is bent. Now look at your new parts? Is there a new part to replace the bent one???? if there is your in luck!!!

 

ok i hear ya on that.....i was also wondering tho..when i go to take the front LCA's or spindles? off and when i do so if the GSR ones will do the trick.

 

More than likely you bent the front lower control arm and that will be all you need to fix it. That would be the first thing I would do in this situation.

 

werd....i just havent cleared my garage yet and theres a foot of snow in my driveway....so i cant do **** right now...this weekend i was trying to do the break swap and since the Front LCA might be bent i wanted to know if i could just use the GSR front LCAs with my EK suspension....

good night bump....once this snow is gone i need to get on this...sooo those of u that rock the GSR LCA's please pipe up in here.

 

bump for some help

 

please give me some info here.

 

poop

 

Yes, they'll fit if you have 14" wheels or bigger.

 

i know i have to have the wheel size to clear the brakes....were you including the front Lower control arms?

thanx for a suggestion bro

 

It might be your knuckle that's bent too, but you're replacing that anyways for your GSR brakes. My caster is off too, and it's because the knuckle is bent at the top. My camber is off as well.

 

well im sure i fucked a fair amout of **** up...i hit a rock that was wrapped with snow and ice on the road at like 25-30 mph. I cant go jack the car up and asses the situation cause of snow and all the weather.

I want to figure out tho prior to checking the situation if the GSR LCA's and all that will work on my EK suspension.
