when changing springs, might as well change your shocks.. it's better.

my jetta, or Bora as i liked to call it; ( ) i hit a 4runner on I-64 at newtown going about 50MPH. i swerved to prevent from hitting the car, and ended up clipping the left side of the rear bumper, causing my car to flip 3times into the jersey wall.
heres a few pics. RIP

anyways though, i do plan on replacing the stock Shocks and struts when i get springs. i see too many morons who slam their cars, and dont replace their shocks and u see their cars bouncing around like a hookers tits.


what set of shocks/struts do u have with ur Eibachs?

actually the car's frame help up incredibly. but at the time of the accident, i didnt have time to take the car outta 5th gear, so im sure the transmission didnt like 50-0mph in 1sec....Aye.
the insurance company awarded us $14k for the car. we used $12k for my civic....accidents suck. that vee dub saved my fucking life though.
