that sucks. :thumbsdown:
Looks like either the shock perch where the spring sits broke or the spring slipped over it.
I know you didnt mean for it to be that way, but it looks mean dumped like that!

Oh crap! 
I hope it didn't break anything and you get it fixed soon.
BTW, what size are your tires. Looks like they are 20". Oh and the mtech looks very good!

Whoa! Sorry to hear about what happened to the rear spring.
Hope it gets resolved soon.
That's correct, the front springs should settle in a matter of a few days.
Hope it gets resolved soon.

I only had a very quick look at it, I noticed the drop in the back but not so much in the front, the guy said it will come down a bit more after a while, we will see!!

The shop owner and his friend came over this morning and had a look at it, jacked up the car and fixed it in about 15 minutes.
He tryed to explain to me what the problem was, somthing with my suspension wasn't really in the right place when they changed the springs.
(I know nothing about this
)
It was their fault of course, but it was good service anyway to come to my home and fix it a sunday morning
Now my car is fixed and I am very pleased with the result
thank you for your comments
Man that mtech makes a big difference!

so how are the G&M springs/is the ride now compared to stock suspension?
No rubbing at all, but when I turn my wheels it is very close
