Front Spring Dilema

[sharpster74]

Hi all i haven't been on for a while as the S8 is parked awaiting gearbox repair. Over the weekend i went down to my friend's garage to spruce the car up a bit and gave it an oil change only to notice one of my front springs has cracked and dropped the car slightly on one side.

Not a biggy i thought until i tried to find a new spring!!! I've looked everywhere on the net and its now too late to ring the local main dealer.

Has anyone bought any new springs for their car and did you have to go to Audi??

Many thanks all..
