    If you're on a budget, get the 45mm springs, they're not going overstress the shocks in a short period of time. Gives you time to save up and do shocks and springs together properly. Personally, I wouldn't have the standard springs for the very reason you encountered.

    Could be that the spring wasn't seated properly, and has somehow worked it's way back in, if it's level now. OR the other side has now broken too

    Either way, it will need to be checked for safety
