And that will be pretty expensive Those rear spring buckets are pretty tough, must've really smacked it good.
Actually cheaper than I thought, DicountInfinitiparts has it for $152, and luckily it's pretty simple to replace.

this perch also acts as the toe adjustment, make sure you dont drive it 'til you get it replaced and get an alignment after you get it replaced.
let your mech know what happened and he should be somewhat familiar with what to look out for. e.g., it's possible to damage your wheel bearings from curbing your car and he should be checking for 'play' in the suspension

I would fix the rim & make a service appointment.
I'm not saying to lie, but you can play dumb they may warranty it.
Had something similar I hit a piece of rebar at 70mph.
Cracked my stock rim, ended up getting a brand new rack & pinion. With a new steering column.
8k in parts & labor, they hooked it up.
It's worth a shot.
Good luck with your repair.

Well mine broke off of my car, and the dealership states that my Eibach springs caused the lower control arm to break and will not cover under warranty... I havent seen anyone else state that they had the same issue..
