30mph impact you have almost certainly buggered the wishbones and the tracking will have been pushed out. Wheels will almost certainly no longer be properly round and if yo are unlucky you may have damaged the pick up points for the wishbone. Could have also damaged the shocks.

Only way to tell is to get under it and have a damn good look. TBH even if the wishbones look ok I would be inclinded to replace as a matter of course.

Check check and then check again you don't want to find a component was damaged when travelling at 70mph

m8 the two tyres r scrap, da trackin is messed but how much u rekon da cost will b to repair? i myt jus break the car

2.0ltr si - sounds quite a bit of money has been spent already so I would'nt be quick to break it . Laser tracking cost me about £30. You could bring down the cost of repair by doing the wishbones yourself. Wishbones cost about £25.
I'd take it to a garage who will check it for free and give you a quote on exactly what's wrong and if it's worth repairing

Was it both fronts that took the impact or just the side two?

If the rear took a bang you will want to check the beam didn't bend.
