Unhappy Got into a wreck...need help!

well....i was on a routine driving/drifting session monday night when i lost control and slammed into a curb(serves me right for doing it all this time with out after market parts) anywho...i bent my control arm at a 30 degree angle, stretched my pillow tension rod and bent my steering rod at a 45 degree angle(i got pics if anyone wants to see ) well my question is is it worth it to spend the extra 500 to buy JIC Magic aftermarket parts or should i just get the parts off of a wrecked 240(which i can probably get the hookup on) are there any major advantages to getting these aftermarket parts? I have 1000 dollars on hand to spend right now on these parts plus 4 new tires...but will prolly get a lil more relatively soon. What should i do???

Get some aftermarket coilovers. If you are going to be drifting/racing then you should definatley buy them and not risk destroying your suspension again.

Dude....open parking lot next tyme.

I think you should get the stock stuff cheap like you said you could. Get eibach prokit and tokico strut pak from 240sx.org(go to group buy). I just got the pro-kit installed w/the struts and I love it...0 yeah, get some tyres.
