Unhappy I need some suggestions

i got into an accident couple of days ago with the Z. ****in sucks. i got hit on my driver side back end. the whole bumper is hanging and the back wheel is sort of bent. i dont know if there is frame damage but i love my car and its going to the shop tomorrow. insurance got everything covered and i want to keep my car no matter what.
(i dont have pics at the moment, dont want to really even look at my car...its just covered.)

So im going to fix the car and i was thinking im going to feel the difference in the ride as soon as i get back in the car. I want to get a new suspension kit on the car. I have no idea what to get. does anyone knows a name of a certain brand i can get or a certain type???

if any one has suggestions let me know, im willing to spend a good amount of money on this

highly doubt you'll feel a difference in the suspension when its repaired .. unless you have 100K miles and the bushings are starting to wear out .. then you would feel a difference in stiffness on that one wheel



as for aftermarket stuff .. have no clue .. BUT .. whatever shop you go to

you could probably talk to the manager and (if he's cool like mine where I work ) he can take the insurance money from buying the oem suspension parts needed and you can put that torwards the new aftermarket parts

then I guess you just pay some extra to get them installed there .. unless you do it

you wont notice a difference then after it is fixed with only 24K miles


so the suspension mods are all up to you .. if your ready to do suspension mods and they have to replace stuff your going to replace with aftermarket stuff then kill two birds with one stone and save some money whilst your at it
