However, I was thinking about these sliders(compression sliders/shock absorbers) that are underneath the car, that allow leeway(sp?) and flexibility for the bumper. If it turns out that they were pushed in a little bit, do those have to be replaced? The person lightly rolled into the back of my car, .5 to 1mph, they admitted their brakes were faulty...

I have the individuals phone #, license plate, and name. Just in case.
Don't assume it was up to 1 mph and that the absorbers are fine. Most cannot tell until you inspect underneath your bumpers. A nice bump may not always leave an impression on the fascia. Also, you did not take ALL the info needed. Based on what you saw when you stepped out to check the bumper, you probably said to yourself it was ok, that it was not a big deal, and will not make a big stink about someone hitting my Z.
