The springs are less than £30 each (KYB RH3508) so if you can do it yourself it's well worth the £60 for some peace of mind.
KYB Springs advise that springs are replaced in pairs to maintain an even ride height and to avoid any uneven pulling to one side when braking. They also mention that springs should be replaced every 4 years or 50,000 miles to maintain comfort, performance and safety. Correct steering geometry and ride height and also to reduce deterioration of shock absorbers.
