lowered car failing
« on: 30 October 2012, 13:23 »
hey can someone advise me please, my car is as low as i can get it on coilovers but after getting stuck on a speedbump i seem to have bent a metal bar that goes from drivers side to passenger side where the mid silencer is, can i mallet this back in to place? or is it structural damage?
