Car Accident...need Advice

So I was pissed off last night and went out for a drive. Took this beautiful turn too fast on cold tires, and panicked when I countersteered, and literally hit a 4-6 inch curb straight on at about 25-30 mph.

Airbags went off blah blah blah, I am fine.

QUESTION:

What can I do to check if my shocks are blown out....I just got brand new coilovers like 2 months ago.....




I think my FORMERLY brand new Work Emotions may be okay.
My rear left got a dent about an inch long on the very edge of the lip, but since I hit the curb head on, no other metal was exposed to the curb. I am sure my frame is bent a bit, and I dunno about some of my suspension components (control arms, etc.)

Also, my tires DIDN'T pop!!! I'm hoping my wheels are not dented anywhere and hope the tires absorbed most of the impact.

Any advice, suggestions as what to check for broken, bent, etc. would be GREATLY appreciated.

since i cant see the car you wrecked you need to take it to a professional.

There could be a million things wrong, but since i cannot see it and i was not there to feel the impact it is near impossible to find out how bad it is.
