S13 hatchback: New coilover or new shell?

[supra33202]

My 91 S13 hit the right rear side first on a concrete wall at about 30-40mph at the track and then rebounded and hit the front left wheel.

The right side tie rod was broken. The right side front lower control arm and tension rod were bended.

I replaced the tie rod, front lower control arms, and tension rods and went to the alignment shop. The alignment shop technician told me that the front right tire is rubbing the coilover, and asked to go to a body shop for assistance. Then, the body shop technician took a look and he thought the coilover might be bended and needed to be replace.

These are the pictures after I replaced the tie rod, front lower control arms, and tension rods.

By judging the pictures, do you think it worthwhile to replace the coilovers and do an alignment and see if that works or do you think I should just buy a new S13 shell and swap my engine, transmission, other parts to the new shell?

I am thinking maybe I should find some narrower rims for avoiding the rubbing coilover issue.

This is my drift car and we will have a drift event in a month. I just want to know what is my best option right now.

Thanks for the advise.

bended is not a word.
id send that coilover out to be rebuilt if possible, if its damaged they would tell you. what are they stances?

if its strictly a drift car just send the coilover Bersh said. If you can get the alignment back or close to where it was then you have plenty of thrashing left to do on that shell.If it was a daily Id say get a new one. But done ruin another 240 because your trying to learn to drift

I think I will replace the coilover first to see if that fixed the rubbing problem.

If not, I think I try running spacers on the front wheels.

From the picture, should I run 15mm or 25mm spacers?

Pull off the wheel and stack washers on the studs until the wheel dosent rub anymore. Then measure your stack of washers. Buy a spacer from that.

That shell is fine for drift
