Unhappy C/C plates

hey guys a while back i smacked my car's front end into a curb, bending my k member and control arms. i replaced them with the BMR cross member and BMR tubular control arms. now my alignment is all out of spec and i took it in for a professional alignment. they told me that there was no way to compensate for camber so now i'm having to buy C/C plates or maybe just some camber bolts. i also noticed there are adjustable strut mounts out there as well. i just wanted some reccomendations on some products before i go and spend 3 or 4 bills on any camber correcting product. Thanks

just my opinion, but if you hit a curb hard enough to bend stuff so far that it is still out of spec, I would replace all of the bent parts before I tried to fix the geometry with C/C plates

I wouldn't be surprised if you have a bent strut tower.

I would definitely take note of the things that are bent and see exactly how bad it is before spending money that may be unnecessary. You may not need what they told you. I would get a second opinion just to make sure, but i would go with the MM c/c plates.

I smacked my front bumper and hood while doing some drifting on the street...Stupid!

Put the car on the frame machine and pulled it back to perfection before we removed the inner panels.

It aligned perfectly when we did the 4 wheel.

A bent car will never drive right. Then check the running gear and suspension.

Best of luck
