Default OEM/Stock Springs/Struts/Shocks

I find myself with a broken rear spring and a desire to fix it without changing my stock ride height due to living in the frozen tundra.

I'm going to just do shocks and springs all round 'cause they're original and they need refreshing anyway and this gives me the excuse I need.

Assembling a stock spring + Koni Sport setup from ECSTuning is running me about $1350, which isn't much cheaper than OEM from the dealer and a little pricier than their OEM kit at ~$1200 but would be a little better performing. Are there better alternatives?

Is there anywhere online to get the OEM components at a better price? My searching has produced no useful results.

Is the shock broken? Why cant you just buy 1 spring? Or if worried about left/right feel, buy just 2 rear springs.

A new set of coilovers can run your less than $1000 ($499 for SoloWerks S1). You don't have to run them low, you can raise them to stock levels or very close to stock levels.
