Great news...you still can make wekfest! I'm sure a machine shop can fab the fork straight. The lower control arm is another opportunity for you to install parts that you have laying around

Yea I don't have an aftermarket compression arm and no shops want to take liability to do the fork since the metal is compromised

*update*

Just found out from the wheel repair shop here in Oahu that the wheels have been warped to a state which they cannot be repaired. It is not visible in any way though to the naked eye until put on a balancing machine. So i will be selling the two good wheels as spares and looking for some 18's in a track setup now. And yes, i will be mounting the works, i'll be using my re-11's in the 265/35/19 trim to put on the backs and ordering my front tires tomorrow.

No no, i still have ONE 18x9 in GREAT condition and ONE 19x10 in GREAT condition that i'll sell as spares. I'm thinking about picking up a complete set again or going with ENkei RPF1's 18x9.5 all around.
