The other day when it was snowing heavily i dropped my girlfriend off at work. I went round a corner really slow and tyhe car just slid sideways(musta been icey). The car went sideways into a kerb and the rear drivers side wheel was sticking out the arch by about 3mm. I took it to a garage and it needs a new rear strut and hub. Its an STi V3 so is this a none abs hub i need? All the arms and links are fine though. The rear wheel has a mega kerb in it, but thats the least of my worries as I dont like the wheels anyways. I wouldnt be bothered if i was driving like a **** and deserved it but i wasnt...
If anyone can help me by giving me advice and/or helping me source parts I will be very gratefull. I also want a standard set of 16" sti alloys. Thanks for your time, Chris.

find out if its got ABS turn on the igniton and see if you have a ABS light, or was the pedal banging away when you was braking

Or pop the bonnet and see if you have an abs unit behind the drivers headlight.

Ginge !

you have to know what a ABS unit looks like to know what one is

any one can read a ABS light on the dash, some mechanics cant even tell me if a car has ABS or not, thats why i now mention this to make thre lives easy
