    Replace the entire strut, buy a lowered one while your at it.

    Inspect all your controls arms and bushes while your at it, its likely there is more damage than you think.

    if it was a side impact from a gutter id be betting on more damage also unfortunately, either way if your gonna lower it consider how low, because you'll need a camber kit for the rear if your going anything lower than SL. also check how the bushes are all over, you can get a nolathane evolution kit which comes with a 2pt camber kit + lots of other bushes(front+rear)

    the 4pt are suppose to be ALOT better, because u can adjust them more..

    get monroe gt sports from and back, i got mine at staff price and all up was about $300 for front and back, so expect to pay about $500 depending where u go..thats should fix ur little fark up...also check bushes and tie rod's, and replace them if u need to

    Other way around would be better, SL in the back and Lows in the front. Otherwise your be driving a car that looks like the front suspension has collapsed.
