Sorry to say this, but you've got a big repair bill coming up. I'd say at the very least you will have to replace suspension arms (aluminum, which bend very easily in a mishap like that), front spindle, shocks, probably some differential components, steering rods, assorted bushings, plus wheels. As others have stated, you should get an estimate first, then decide on whether to deal with insurance; but unless you've got a lot of money handy, you're probably headed for an insurance filing...
Also hate to say this, but no "friend" would/should be foolish enough to do something so stupid with something as valuable as your car...
No offense, but a lotta good that does you. That's what all people who are broke will tell you...

Ok so what do we learn here DO NOT LEND OUR CAR TO A FRIEND. I mean there is always something that happens if you lend your good car and if you lend your shity car in hopes that he will put it in a dich or wrap it around the tree or get rear ended no that never happens.
I hope it wont be too expencive to get it fixed becouse it sure looks like it. Look at the brite side gives you an oportunity to go with a diffrent suspension get something better.

I already had GAB super R's and Pettit Pro kit springs. I'm going to replace it with the same stuff. But, I was getting new rims anyways. Maybe I can figure out a way to scam the insurance and get some nice rims outta the deal. They haven't given me an estimate yet, tomorrw.

I know, it's probably not even possible. My buddy...I still haven't talked to him, owes me for sure. What do you think about these for replacement rims? A little risky but i think it might look good. Or am I still in shock and thinking unreasonably? haha
