Suspension feeling diff?

Well, 2 days after i got my mcs in feb, i hit black ice in a uturn and did a good old curb slide (first ever slide in 10yrs) smashed the entire right front suspension, bounced off the curb into the other side curb as my rt front tire was just kinda disconnected and dragging, so i had 3 wheels replaced, pretty much the entire front rt suspension, and parts of the suspension elswhere. I was very mad, anyway, all fixed and the only thing thats happened is i bent an axle on a HUGE pothole i think, which dealer replaced. Handles fine now, got a rear sway bar too, not sure if it handles the same as it did prior to accident as i only had it for 2 days and didnt turn hard. Now its in for a new tranny and i have a mc as a loaner. The thing feels like it would kill mine in turns, much more smooth. Do you think even though it was all fixed it still messed up my handling somehow? I dont think the loaner has runflats and mine does, do they make that huge a difference? Or is it cause my mcs is modded in a few ways, so maybe i go into turns harder and accelerate faster that gives me the impression im not carving as well? Just curious what ya think?
