Default Anyone have a spare set of matching springs? Something to fit a '97 Q...

I have aparently got a broken front spring, and am up in the air as to wether to replace just one, the two fronts, or go whole hog and do all four. If I do all four I would likely go with S8 or Eibach springs, but keep the stock shocks. The car has 144,000 miles and I can only assume they are the original springs on there now.

Also if anyone knows an aproximate cost for a decent install of springs I would apreciate learning from your experience.

Thanks in advance.

I have a extra spring with a brown and silver dots of paint on it. Do you know what colors you are looking for. Its for the Front.

If you look at the spring, you should see some paint markers. Thats what tells you if you have matching springs. you should be able to see the markers without removing the spring, you might need to jack the car up.
