What part of the car hit the ground when the jack failed? Maybe something in the undercarriage was damaged.

Get yourself a hydraulic floor jack. ;)

It was the normal trunk jack. It only hit the side skirt and the metal beneath it

Yeah I had it fail on me too. When I first lowered my car. It is just too much weight by the time you get to installing the last coilover.

I drove the car yesterday and it is ok. I just have some scratches under the car.
