We at Oregon State have our '05 car about 95% back on its wheels again after the curb crash incident up at the NorthWest shootout in washington. After a new set of our aluminum differential plates are machined, the car will be just like new. It sucked pretty bad having that happen, but i suppose it was a good experience having to tear down a car and fix it up (not exactly fun though).

Glad to hear the car's back together. That was a an eye opening event, quite unfortunate though.

It was only the A arms and the diff hangers correct?

That is what it initially looked like along with destroying the wheels. And those were the major things damaged. However, it also broke a mount point on the engine and bent the top most chassis tubes alongside the driver.
