I was going about 15/20 mph on a banana curved freeway on ramp. It was so crazy, it has freshly rained, so I assume the dried up oil on the California Highways rose up the ground.
Completely 180'd then slid into the guardrail, hit the front left corner and bounced back to the back left corner.

These cars handle pretty good, no other cars had any problems on this turn?. Can't believe you hydroplaned at 15/20 mph with new tires, the oil was most likely the problem. Hope your car turns out like new for you

Accidents happen at least you have insurance and being as the car is leased you have less worries. had close call today too people in front of me decided to be stupid and i had to test out my brand new breaks on my 2015 350 fs . Breaks worked great.

Be careful of rain or runoff at the bottom of any bridge as you approach them. Water will pool there. Also the same on the other side coming down
Always stay in the same lane as others have plowed for you in the snow.
Always scan the road ahead of you double time in the rain in case you have to make a sudden lane change.
LIGHT auto X will teach you a TON about your car. Check to see in your area who is holding summer Auto X events. They're not expensive. Saved my life doing this. Like you, fish tailed on a very curvy road hitting gravel that was dropped from the side of a mountain and managed to get it under control on the gravel shoulder with a few feet to spare near the cliff and glide back onto pavement.
Glad your OK and have a sweet ride home.

Ha ha! Obviously. My question was more for others who have lowered suspensions. It sure does look nice. I'm not a fan of cars that look smashed to the ground, but that particular suspension on his has the perfect amount of wheel gap. I'm looking forward to seeing pics after the car is all fixed good as new.

After many, many, MANY miles of driving I can attest to what happened to you. Luckily I've never spun out in the rain on curves. But a tip if you'll take it.

Thanks, I'll look into that!
As far as the ride quality, I get my car back Tuesday of this week! If everything continues as scheduled.
