I don't understand why that happened? It's not like those springs would drop the car low enough to put your axle at such an angle that it would snap! I am tucking 14"s on my jetta, and my axles hit the body on occasion due to the car being so low, and I have never trashed an axle like that and you have to consider the angle that my axles are at as well.
I just don't see how a simple spring install could have broke your axle by the hub, which is what it seems like you are saying. It must have been on it's way out already or something. Post pics though, I am interested..

Ps: don't pay for a spring install, save your money, it is so easy and I doubt it was something you did
