    Sorry man, that’s just nasty. Looks like maybe it cracked and then rusted through. You can buy the springs new or look for a used set of take offs. Might be worth a call to the dealer to see what they say about a warranty claim (after taking the spacer kit out) they might recognize that as a defect.

    Rust isn’t a defect.

    No, but the crack which allowed it to form could very well be.

    I guess it’s worth a try, but any scratch on the coating of the coil will allow for moisture ingress, PA roads aren’t friendly for rust either.. so not exactly unusual on a 3-4 year old coil. Broken coil is, but that’s pretty severely rust damaged and not a surprise.
