That depends on what angle you hit the curb at, as well as the speed of the impact. I don't think that having dropped the suspension a bit would have a significant effect. My impression, though, hitting the curb at at an angle less than 30 degrees, going 30+mph, and you are in really bad shape

Glad your ok man. Same almost happened to me when a x5 cut me off. Luckily it was an industrial area and i had a driveway to go up and finally brake on the curb.
