My ZT's currently in the garage for all four springs being replaced. My rear springs had snapped at the bottom in a similar place to the ones in your photo but the coils hadnt moved apart or gone out of line so didnt drop the rear of the car. However it caused horrendous vibrating of the steering wheel and made the car a little unstable and a bit scary at times to drive. Car didn't feel like itself at all. So from my experience id say not too safe to drive on snapped springs.
