Hey people 
Whilst lowering my car last night by myself in a carpark i had everything suported whilst changing the shocks so the rear beam didnt drop down and damage the 'rear brake bias' thingy but the fucking jack fell over and the beam dropped to the floor so i quickly got it back up and thought "that was lucky nothing broke" Driving along today there was a bang from the rear so i pulled over and looked under and there it was, a spring hanging down on the right hand side of the beam! So crawled the car home incase it meant something bad and here i am 
How do i go about fixing it? any pictures? is it easy?
Ive got pretty good mechanical skills so point me in the right direction.
Cheers for any help!

if youve lowered it that much id be carefuly.. back end is likely to lock up alot easier as it will think the boot is fully loaded.. try zip tieing it

It was lowered 90mm a few months back (before i raised it up to 50mm now back to 90mm) but after adjusting it i had no problems whatso ever but thanks for pointing that out. Upgrading to 2l gte brakes as soon as i can get hold of some braided hoses
Zipties are tool of choice when modding stuff  
Used them on my exhaust with poly hangers to hold it still.
