Replace control arms, inner and outer tie rods

Well... My stupid @$$ decided not to change my rims out for my stocks for winter. First day of snow came, and my tires are pretty damn bald. Went around a bend and kept going straight, I hit a curb head on at about 35mph or less. Both sides of my front tires are shoved way back against the back of the wheel well and my sideskirt. You can visibly see how bent both c-arms are. I figure the tie rods are probably garbage now too, so I ordered new tie rods and control arms. The frame thankfully isnt bent. I only destroyed one rim, and theres no body damage. But my question is, what else should i look for as far as damage? I also have all new calipers just in case one cracked. It drives straight no problem and it turns and everything just fine, but obviously the wheels rub when i turn, so its technically not driveable. my question is, what other parts should i look into, and i already have eibach adjustable coilovers on it, and the struts dont seem to look bad at all. Any ideas? Ill post pics asap

The tie rods were more or less a courtesy gift from somebody. The coilovers and everything else look fine, it looks like the control arms took most of the hit and just buckled
