Default New speed bump hates S2k's, NEED HELP!

So the city decides to build a random speed bump/walkway to a pier in the middle of the street, I was on my daily cruise and then I saw the monster popping out of the street, no turning back because there was traffic all around and no room for angling I just had to take it in the ass. Results were scraping of my CF splitters and a loud bang coming from the rear. Well a day goes by and I decide to change my tranny fluid and discovered this:








this is gonna cost me...


any idea what I damaged?

Looks like you killed your diff mount I know our engine mounts are fluid filled so I bet those are to.

Actually, those rubber damper mounts are liquid filled and prone to leakage! Not too expensive and relatively easy to replace.

you can clearly see the tear in the diff mount.


there is a diy in the faq archived area in regards to diff replacement. [b]it will have some pics of the diff mount removal[b], you can get an idea if you feel comfortable enough to complete the job at home in your garage or send it to a mechanic. even if you do have to take it to a mechanic-the job should be fairly cheap to get the mount replaced. since you have to buy a new one-compare the prices of the solid aftermarket ones. i think J's makes a set. just food for thought...
