Bent Rear Sub-Frame
Hello Everyone,
So, my 2004 C230 Kompressor (67k Miles) was involved in a wheel-to-curb collision last week. I hit the curb, and it cracked my back passenger side wheel. I got a new wheel in this week, and found the ESP light on after it was mounted. After taking it to an alignment shop I was advised that the rear sub-frame was bent and would need to be replaced.
I have no idea how much this is going to cost, but I was wondering, if while they're replacing/repairing the rear sub-frame, is this a good time to save some labor by upgrading some braking or suspension components? I don't know what labor is involved with the repair, but I was thinking if I'm going to shell out for this, I might as well look into new rotors/springs/coilovers/exhaust if they're going to be down there.
Thank you much in advance, and Happy Holidays!
