Icon6 NEED new suspension

hi im new to this forum. I have an eg with a JDM b16a. it was crashed by an el camino and it was a hit and run. the damage that was left to my eg was a broken axle in the front passenger side. and another in the rear driver side. i have fixed everything but my suspension ride doesnt feel the same. it bounces a lot and i was told that my cambers were bent. so i just want to throw money into my whole suspension. i want to spend money for a good decent market. but nothing to expensive but at the same time nothing to cheap. so if someone can help me out what kind of brand i can go for for each part. and how much it will be. thanks .

It may not ever ride the same depending what was hit. Get it looked at by an alignment shop. Your chassis might be bent.

Exactly, if they bent the frame enough to mess up the suspension geometry by even 1 degree on any control arm nothing you do will make it ride the same sans straightening the frame.

go to a chassis shop and have them check to see if your chassis is twisted..

i was driving on a ramp that crosses above i-205 and when i got hit on the front passenger side by the el camino it broke the axle there but i was going 35 the speed limit and it pushed me towards the ramps wall that divides the ramp ...thus causing me to wreck the rear tire and axle and camber....so thats how that happened.....

well if the frames bent it will, it will need to go on a frame jig, and what evers bent will need to be straighted,
and thats not cheep at all

most likely your rear suspension is toast. frame bent, unlikely but possible
