depends if you are happy with the car as it is
some people love the comfort  and others prefer a firmer more "sporty" ride.
if you fancy better cornering they go uprated
if not just replace the snapped spring

hope that helps

I got aftermarket springs for the back of SWMBO's Astra as Vx's prices were sky high. Only difference, apart from the massive difference in price, is that the after market were not progressive like the OE were ie not tapered in diameter at either end.
