Was going down a dirt rd at like 100kmh and literally caught a foot of air and bounced pretty hard and now I have a vibration in the pedal but not the wheel and only st really high speeds (115+). I know I'm an idiot and I won't make excuses. No visible damage anywhere . I have bcbr extreme drop coils with 18 inch low profile tires on ms3 rims. Anything to be worried about or all in my head maybe?

No, probably not all in your head. You probably bent something. Take it to a person with a hoist and it's time for an inspection. Might as well do an oil change while you're at it.

I got air the other day too but didn't break anything. Did make a mess on my seats though.

Could also be an alignment issue or a broken tie rod. Better get it checked out.

Alright now that I'm not on my phone I won't sound quite so slow.
I double checked and I'm getting vibes at over 100 clicks in the steering wheel and through the pedals. I'm replacing the clutch with a friend in a couple of weeks is there anything in particular I should look for? Tie-rod? I almost feel it's at the rear... anything that people can recommend? It was fun but unfortunate at the same time :(

Check if you lost any wheel weights. Sounds like an out of balanced tire possibly.

its also entirely possible the tire slipped on the rim throwing the balance off. happened to my old set of wheels. it was hard to diagnose because i had all the weights in the right place and zero drop in tire pressure.
i remember the first time i caught air :) it was within the first month of getting my car and was still at stock height. so much fun

You could have bent a rim as well. Definitely get the wheel on a balancer and see if they are off

Ya I was supposed to get it done a few weeks ago but the time but the apt fell through. I would make sure it's on the car no matter what if I sold it. Guess I got ahead of myself a bit
I'll look for bent rims/wheel weights and all that. Cheers
