Default Suspension springs.

Just jacked my car up to start with changing the clutch and noticed my two front 9 month old spax springs have both snapped in half!?!?
Can anyone recommend a good set of springs, I think the car is lowered -25mm.

yeah , tis a shame cos they do seem a popular one.

Well I have a message from someone after rear -25mm springs, and I need the fronts so we may split the pack which saves me wasting springs/money!
