Scratched bottom....

After lowered my 09 sedan with Eibach springs there are more and more places I can't go due to the low clearance. Today I was driving out of a tacobell, there was a bump on the road, i know it looks kinda tall, I slowly drove over it diagonally, and it scratched my bottom, sounds from underneath the gear box. I checked the bottom later, didn't see any oil leak, would the impact hurt the transmission or exhaust?

If I had to be worried about bottoming out every time I drove the car, just to get a certain look...well, screw that.

^this. It's bad enough we all have to worry about our paint chips flying off the hood, wouldn't want the additional aggravation of having to worry about the underside of the G. Does look nice, but too much trouble IMO.

You probably scraped your exhaust.
