Default Has anyone heard of H&R Sport Springs giving out? (m)

Yesterday I left my house and started to hear a weird noise coming from my right rear tire, which sounded as if something were touching it as I was driving. I stopped at the gas station and noticed that there was no fender gap at all. A similar stuation but I guess not quite as bad was happening on the drivers side too. These springs were always low (and a little lower in front than the rear), but now the rear is a lot lower than the front. Could the springs have really just died on me? My car has about 60k miles on it and i had the springs installed with only about 1000 miles on the car and the struts are almost brand new Bilsteins as of this summer so I don't think they could be part of the problem. Does this sound plausable?

Default He said he has new bilsteins... I suspect one of the bilsteins may be blown

Is there any hydraulic fluid leaking from the rear?
