I've already bought new Rims, shocks, springs. If any one has advice or passed problems they want to share please do! Thank you
least it didnt look like this.

Just by looking at that I can tell you, you must have a bent lower control arm.
The picture shows wheel setback. Hopefully its just the control arm and she didnt fuck up the chassis. She had to hit something pretty damn hard for that to happen. Hopefully the impart didnt move the shock tower housing. Mos tlikely though its the lower control arm.
