Speaking of suspension on other thread [MENTION=12]ATXStinger[/MENTION] [MENTION=787]Soccerstyle[/MENTION] - Yesterday NOT a good day. Drizzle on the pavement... Sport mode switched on... Right turn... Left foot pushed not floored... Turbo lag as usual... I over compensated... Median came quickly at 30mph....too slick to stop... BAAAMMM!!! Serenity's pulls to the right now...Front clip is bent a tad...suspension is...? To be continued

As hard as I hit the curb and the loudness of it I thought it would have been worse. We'll see though when I go to the dealership tomorrow as I scheduled my 2nd oil change this past Thursday.
Definitely did some damage other than visual pics here as she pulls right for sure

That doesn't look cheap to fix, insurance should cover it though. Just tell them you hydroplaned.

My thinking was bent control arm, nope, the hit bent the driver side strut. Can clearly see from under car it bent inwards, clearance at the top of strut to the wheel is now less than half that of passenger side. Camber went from about - 1.5 to -2.8

From the looks of it and the specs on other 3 wheels are within range, Yes.

Most of the force was taken on front driver as slid at an angle then the rest of the car followed up ontop of median.

Yeah from the sound and harsh impact it seemed worse. I know if I had hit that curb head on after being lowered that whole front clip would have been disintegrated!

If it's just the strut then you really lucked out.
