bottomed out..help

hey guys, well my car is in panama now.. ive bottomed out a few times(basically my back end scraping the ground.. usually because of stupid hills or some really big speed bumps they have here..

Ive also had the middle bottom scrape a few times..

should i be worried? i dont see any leaks or anything..


ALSO

I just drove 1hr on this super bad road.. basically a road made of rocks and my hand/car shook the whole time.. is that enough to damage suspension of the car?

It's not the end of the world.

Until you knock an o2 sensor off your bend your midpipe so much that the exhaust can barely squeeze through. But you're not there yet. Just don't make it an ongoing habit and it'll be fine.

k well my g is as slammed as u can go. going over bad roads is ok and ur gunna feel it more because of how stiff your springs are. for me i scrape everytime i go into my driveway. the problem for me is my hks exhaust were it flexes its kinda shredding. so look at your flex point on ur exhaust other than that u should be chillin. hope this helps

its the diffuser. you can take it out but unbolting the bolts under the bumper

in regards to the OP the flex pipe on the ypipe might get fvck up when scraping so you might get a leak there. So just get a spare just in case

also when you scrape it just hits the metal guards on the side so you wont have a problem there. just dont drive like a maniac over bump and youll be fine.
