The spring is available separatley but if one broke, what condition is the
rest of them? The complete kit from the dealer is ~$20.00 and they fit
correctly. The hold downs that come with the aftermarket sets are not quite
correct. They are either too tight or too loose. The springs should be
replaced as part of any complete brake job.
