Comptech Spring broke

Changing out my strurts on my 02 TL-S and on the last one, the passenger side rear, took wheel off and BAM!!! Noticed the spring was broke, snapped in 2. My question is, where the hell do I buy 1 Comptech right rear lowering spring?

Bought these back in 07, don't know of Comptech warranty or if I can get these anymore.
Any suggestions on replacement springs? Can I just put a new set on rear? Or even just 1 spring?
Any help will be appreciated

To all who read this, thanks.

DDD

there were two versions of comptech springs... the older ones were known to snap... you could see if ct-engineering can do anything for you.

H&R sports are fantastic springs with a mild drop (1.5 inch) or Eibach springs for a lower drop (2.1 inch front/1.7 rear)

I like them too. I had eibachs first, with tokico illuminas. Now I've got h&r with kyb adjustable shocks. Despite looking similar on paper, the h&r/kyb rides waaaayyy better. Konis were out of stock when I did it.
