Not to pile on...but you really want to do suspension parts in pairs. E.G. balljoints, mounts, bushings, struts, springs. It stand to reason that if one side is worn out, the other side, which has been subjected to identical conditions and is close to being worn out. Since most of the cost is labor, and you're already paying for the other parts, the marginal cost is modest.
Front springs generally last a long time...If I had a freak breakage at say, 20K miles, then I would do just that part...but given the age of the car (and guessing that you've got close to 100K on it) there will be an appreciable difference in spring rate between old and new.
