Default My new wheels and suspension

Hey guys, I've recently obtained a set of 15-inch Rota Slipstreams and my TnP coilovers.

My new wheels and coilovers.

I have only two worries:

One, due to some (or a bunch of) GDMF people during shipping, a bracket in a rear coilover is bent. Maybe I should hammer it back?

Two, can my wheels fit into the SR BBK (if it ever arrives to me)?

the SR BBK fits on stock wheels, so it should fit under/behind those 15's.

What part is bent? You didn't have any photos of the bent part.

send the bent part back. for the money you pay for new stuff, it should come in perfect condition.

Not really. tongue.gif If you live in the Philippines and something does not fit, you improvise. One example, my intake and Hi-Tension wires.

Bent bracket pics now in the Tnp and Rota wheels page. Please check it out and tell me if I should hammer it back. I think I can.

That's just the bracket for the brake line, isn't it? I would think that gently hammering it back would be fine... it's not like that piece has any stress on it.

You should be able to bend that back with a pair of pliers. I would not use a hammer. You don't want it to snap off.
