Yes, do both sides.

A broken spring should be a failure  :-X

Does your Elite still have the self levelling rear suspension?

Damn, those springs are more expensive ;D

I paid £147 for a pair of Boge ones 2 years ago (and removed them last year, as the Elite was just too soft for me)

They will be non self levelling I imagine.

From dealer, even with TC, horrendously expensive. Sure I read KYB do some, as well as non self levelling.

Though from your other thread, you may need to see if your self levelling shocks are knackered, as if so, may be worth removing self levelling

Kyb (Kayaba) is the manufacturer.
Rob has given you the Kyb part no. For self levelling springs.

But, you need to check that you have;
1 self levelling shocks otherwise buying SL springs will be a disaster
2 SL shocks that work, or yo may as well bin SL altogether unless you tow or carry heavy loads regularly.

See the guide on testing self levelling suspension. :)
