Somehow, the NSR coil spring on my Legende has snapped and needs replacing.

The OEM part is £260, but the Eibach component is just £107 (p/n F11-75-023-01-RA).

Is this a false economy? Am I being stupid / missing something / drastically affecting the rise & handling??

Anyone had a similar experience want to share?

Thanks

Do yourself the favour and get the Life11O springs. Plenty of experience here with them, including myself, only +feedback so far.
The Eibach Pro are cheaper but too soft for the amount of lowering. And do not buy the OEM spring again as they are crap.

Thanks, but they're out of stock for the standard spring, and I don't want the 110R upgrade. I've send Dave a message to see when they might be available but not had a reply yet.

I have a spare rear spring in my A110 ‘parts bank’ that you can have for £10 (what I paid) plus postage.

It’s this one, it was on a 2018 Pure which has the same springs as the Legende / GT:
