Hit a bad pothole. Have alignment numbers. What's bent?

I hit a *very* bad pothole on the right side of the car which bent the front right and rear wheel. They are fixed and the car no longer shudders.

I took the car to an alignment shop and got an initial reading. The numbers aren't great. I think it's safe to say the struts are bent, causing the negative camber. The toe isn't so bad and there's most likely enough adjustment available to correct it. Do you think I can get away without replacing any of the suspension arms? If not, knowing the geometry of a Boxster suspension and robustness of the different arms, what would most likely be bent? I know I'm asking for speculation, but I don't have access to a lift and so it's hard to compare the damaged side with the undamaged side. Thanks for your thoughts, everyone.
