crashed my car..got all new parts..

Hey I crashed my car destroyed my whole suspension, and my auto body guy ordered all NAPA parts...Axle's, Control Arm, Steering Arm, Struts(put my konis back in though)...

I am just wondering the quality of those parts as opposed to my stock FE1 parts???

if your insurance is covering it you should try and get some aftermarket stuff like coil overs etc lol

Well, I sell factory parts so I'm obviously a believer in the factory stuff. Them using aftermarket parts means you get lesser quality parts and they make more of a profit.

lol I wouldn't trade my PC with Windows 7 for anything... and judging by your pictures your a mac fan so I have nothing more to say besides I would stop using computer's if mac was all that was left in this world. Now Linux on the other hand....not so bad of an O.S.

anyway I don't care about the struts really...I am asking about the Control Arm's, Axle's, Steering Arm's, and Hubs...everything is a lot thicker and nicer looking. My mechanic was almost laughing at the stock stuff he said everything was shot (CAB & CV Joint's) all that stuff.

So I am wondering does anyone have any experience with these NAPA parts?
