Default Coil Springs Snapped GRRR DAMN!!

When getting my gears changed noticed when diff cover was getting taken off both back coil springs are snaped/broken right at the top. clean brake at the top almost appears at quick glance that they were a clean cut lol damn.

Questions what type of affects could one see with broken coil springs? from small affects to big, please provide your feedback.


I will be swapping to another stock set as got afew buddys with sets laying around, or would it be better off to go aftermarket since they gotta be changed anyway?

Piece is not there or widged in place. clean brake/cut but doesn't seem clean enough that someone did it to be a cheap *** to lower the car lol.
Never noticed it until gears were being changed. can it hurt and make for real ruff ride or affect launch when giving her out of the hole etc.
