I was just driving normally, maybe a tad fast, hit a really deep pothole and it just snapped. The passenger side sunked, I stopped and it was like negative 30 camber. Got it home and it was kinda funny because once I lifted the car up the springs just fell off.

They are decent coilovers but they are really old lol! I just wanted to find out if anybody had experience this before.

I'm betting you got those used. I'm betting that the car they came off of was crashed. They Rod was fatigued from the crash when you got them. Why you have used coils rebuilt after you buy them.
