e92 Front strut

My car has a bent front left strut so the camber is really messed up. 2.8=(

The top of the wheel goes inward toward the engine bay. What aftermarket suspension kit should I get? or should I just get that one replaced? how much do they cost?
The shop said that I do not need a new camber kit but the strut is bent so it is eating up the inside of my tire.

Any advice on what suspension kit to get? or can i get it bent back?

Thanks

you cant bend it back.

you probably need more than that, the strut is NOT the weak link.

my car has been in an accident before and it was repaired but I guess they overlooked the strut. They checked out all the parts, links and they were all fine. What parts would I need to buy in order to fix it? would a coilover kit fix it?

No you can't bend it back. the strut needs to be 100% straight. the best solution is to replace it w/ either OEM, or an upgrade. obviously the upgrade will be better, but cost more. you replace them in pairs. read the reviews already listed on E90 POST, and write ups f/ each manufacture. GL
