so i replaced my front spring today well, i removed. It was so easy to get out but i got it out. I managed to snap my drivers side endlink which is okay because i had a 98 so i can now replace them with metal ones, but my question is when I lowered the passenger side a arm a little piece of plastic broke of simultaneously off the passenger and the driver side, ive included pics i have no idea where they came from please help? What did I break??? Also my leaf spring only had a few small cracks did it really need replaced???

your f45 suspension is broken. Cheap way out is to replace shocks with c6z06 shocks. You will need to disconnect the ride control computer in the trunk and delete option with a tech2. Good news is your car will ride and handle much better.
