    Kinda stupid question

    So I have been impressed at how I haven't scraped on any driveway since I installed my H&R springs with koni's, very good clearance. Well tonight I heading home, had kind a lot of energy, and took my driveway straight on a lttle too fast, felt the bottom of my car, kinda underneath my seat hit the edge of the driveway. Pretty loud, "thunk". I know I was being stupid and should have slowed down more, but I just want to know if that could have damaged anything major (i.e. the oilpan)
    Let me know what you guys think...
    Thanks...

    you might have only scraped up the bottom of the car, dented stuff, truthfully it depends how fast you were going and how hard you hit.

    check to see tomorrow morning if you've got any leaks anywhere, and take a look underneath the car.

    If you have jackstands, I'd recommend getting up under there pretty soon to look around. Something may not be wrong now, but you're better safe than sorry.

    Hes FINE LOL YOu probably just scraped the bottom of the chassies up or dented it a bit. But I really doubt you hit your oil pan. Take a look see what it looks like im pretty sure your fine though. These cars are tough I got run off the road once and hardly a scratch under neath and I drug the whole passenger side underside on the pavement shoulder for about 50 feet.
