Not going to attempt to quote the suspension. Best off buying 2nd hand, getting all that refitted by a mechanic, having a wheel alignment and then driving it to a panel beaters.

freeze_dk I am dissatisfied with my current employment situation Legacy Donating Member 8,610 Member For: 19y 11m 25d Gender: Male Posted 11/09/13 04:21 AM Posted 11/09/13 04:21 AM I've seen front impacts in fords 3x harder then that not even deploying an airbag. Weird. Making good progress and don't wanna put you down, but I would have gotten the car to a panel beaters especially one with a chassis alignment jig before I even started sourcing parts.

It's an inertia sensor...not a physical switch that detects contact. Doesn't matter what hits where, if the vehicle is moving in a given direction and stops suddenly then airbags on the forward edge (in this case the side of the vehicle) will deploy. They are essentially designed to cushion the body from hitting the interior of the car - not to prevent the object (gutter/tree/oncoming vehicle) from hitting the occupant.

You have the same thing in a smart phone. The sudden stop would have been registered by the SRS computer which deployed the air bags.
