Did you bottom-out or hear anything scratch/grind/scrape? If you hear, see, feel, or smell nothing...all should be well, but the only way to be sure is to get under the car to check for physical damage...otherwise you'd probably see some warning light or warning message.

and i believe stock cars can run over common humps without damaging the bumpers...but wad i am worried abt is the suspension springs...hopefully they are fine...and no warning lights/msgs

Don't worry, it should be fine. Assuming you didn't run over the bump at 60mph.

lets juz say its ard 25mph...
But as long as nothing you can feel is wrong that is okay as cars are pretty strong to withstand these kind of things but do try to check the underside if you have a chance.
