I think I know what happened here as it almost happen to me. The struts come with the lower perch in a parked position other than the installed position. It’s about 1” higher and usually at about a 10 degree angle. It looks and feels like the perch is made that way for final fitment, but trust me it’s not. You need to wack the perch with a rubber mallet and it will break free and drop, it will also spin freely when in its final resting place. It’s very deceiving and will take full coil spring pressure with it in the wrong position. I can picture his exact failure happening once it broke free. That potential to kinetic energy would be enough to break the lower perch. I imagine this is what happened to the OP. Hope this saves somebody else.

I've recently moved onto a set of KONI Active Sport (FSD) shocks. Way better than the B6's in terms of comfort, and handling is still pretty taught when paired with the Eiback Pro springs. I now have a set of H&R springs and B6 shocks left, wouldn't push anyone to buy these because of how harsh and jarring the ride is; however, tracking it makes these a dream set to have; just sucks at everyday grocery getting.
