bottomed out on a speed bump :(
I rolled (slowly) over a speed bump tonight, and the front wheels felt like they "fell" over the back side of the bump, and something behind the front wheels contacted/clunked on the top of the speed bump. I checked the rocker panels and they didn't seem damaged.
Anybody else done this? What would be under there that could get damaged?

I agree. I looked hard for damage the first time but must have hit a cross member or some other structural component...and since we were going so slow (a crawl) no damage. Definitely disconcerting.
My car is not lowered. Just stock all around.

I had it on comfort mode, so I think the cars suspension dropped the car right down onto the speed bump.

Happened to me a few times on stock suspension. But no damage so far. Now I've lowered it on KW H.A.S Kit and sometimes is a scrape the middle going into driveways. I just avoid steep inclining driveways and parking lots I know that have massive speed bumps.
