   The exhaust?
   
   On a serious note, the rear beam sounds fucked.

   I dont think so because of the ABS, im sure some people have just done away with the ABS and used the beam,
   
   Personally from what ive read youd be better getting your beam refurbed that picking one up off ebay as a spare part and 6 months being in the same boat. Its a bit extra layout but if your looking at using the car long term its a worthy investment

    look at the back of your car and check for camber, if your wheels are in line then your beam should be ok
