Rear springs - replace everything?
Discussion
Had a service today at Alpine dealer, 2019 car. I have a broken rear spring. Suggestion is for both springs (understandable), dampers & top mounts. The car had new springs, dampers & top mounts fitted to the front, last year, before I purchased it.
Is it advisable to change everything, as the dealer suggests, or would just the springs be acceptable?
Thanks

Why have they suggested that...have they given a reason?
I can't think of one why that would be required just due to broken spring.....unless it was driven for an extended period causing further issues??
Guess my decision would be driven by warranty or not, milage, how long I'm keeping it...
Whatever happens if it didn't have warranty I don't think I would be using main dealer.

I went to main dealer, as to date, all servicing & work has been carried out there. I wanted to start a corrosion claim on rear arches paint bubbling, which I’ve now done.
They suggest that it’s usually difficult to remove top mounts & best to assume they’ll need replacing.
I’m inclined to just get the springs replaced & get my local garage to do it. I’ve used them for many years, totally trust them & they work on many interesting cars.
