the road was in horrible shape from all of the rains....huge trenches cut through the road...some of which crept up on me. I got through it all with an even more messed up alignment, unballanced wheels from that nice mud pile filling up my left rear wheel with some heavy sludge (and chunks of grass ), and one blown rear strut.

on a side note, anyone selling rear WRX struts?
