There's always ebay - you are better off replacing the pair - there are several variations on the same theme that are of different lengths see the FSM for a full list and the correct rubber spacer size

you can buy them brand new for about 50 bucks a spring. pelican does not carry them, but type in what you need on google and results will come up for sale

x2 pair replacement. either get a set used, or buy two new ones, dont replace only one coil spring

eBay, and I would add to just go new -- new springs can apparently be a great blessing that you didn't know that you needed.

Be sure to sort by the lowest price on eBay -- there is a wide price variance.

300TD SLS Conversion I put these in my sedan and it was a GREAT upgrade. There is no comparisoin between OEM and Erik's springs. If you are going through the headache of replacing them, then get the best. (No affiliation).

Yes, the sedans ones are. I spent a little time doing some R&D a year maybe two years ago, and Erik nailed the height at the end of the process. If you go to his web page, you will see a sedan. Plus, you can always adjust the height somewhat because there are three different rubber pads, each with different thicknesses.
