Default F&*&! New S2K driver vs rain

I lost control while turning left at a stop, didn't give it much gas at all, maybe just over 4.5k and hit a wet spot (road was still wet since not many cars drove down the road) and spun around, I tried to hit the brakes, but unfortunately hit the clutch instead, By the time I knew what happened the rear tire hit the curb. As you can see, the rear rotor broke off. Wheel has scratches, but the tire is still fine. The rotor heat shield got messed up, and the control arm (I think) is stopping the tire from moving freely as well as the pads being stuck in the gap. Somehow seemed to avoid hitting anything body parts. Bumper, sideskirts, everything is fine. Also, the fender didn't get touched by the tire. Lucky but still a shitty night. Just a reminder to be CAREFUL. I learned my lesson, this isn't going to be cheap. (Liabilty only )

Hundreds of post about the AP1's slip sliding away first couple years the rear springs were stiffer, many crashes.
Honda started changing rates and then in 2006 added TC. You have to drive like you're on ICE when it rains.
GL with fixing it.

4.5k from a stop on a wet turn? You were asking for it.
