The car does not have 50/50/neutral weight distribution.

Some tweaking will be necessary to get the correct body height. Measue from the top of the wheel well center point, and go striaght down to the ground. Record that distance and calculate how much of an adjustment you need to make. Keep in mind when you jack the car up and drop it again, it'll taker a while to setlle, so don't re-measure until you've driven it again for a little bit.

if your wheels didn't impact anything when the crash occurred you should be fine. Once you get the height squared away, I'd go get an alignment and you should be good to go.
