2016 1.4tsi 150 front spring broken

The numbers that you've quoted just seem to be supplier stock numbers, for your info the front springs with single YELLOW BLUE ORANGE, are VW Group p/n 5Q0 411 105 CP which seem to be Sachs 993 923 as genuine Sachs supplied parts and Lesjofors 4095126.
Now, I seem to remember that the number on Lesjofors springs that I bought were different to the applications listing but the same as what was on their boxes - plus other Lesjofors numbers were on the boxes - but that was over a year ago.
Autodoc still supply Sachs branded springs but they are normally more expensive than Lesjofors from them.
I do understand that you are leaving this to your garage to source the parts, but I'm just posting this info in case someone comes across it in the future while searching for this info.

Not that bad. I've replaced both rear springs on my son's Ibiza and one rear spring on my Leon. The genuine VW part is not that much more than aftermarket. You can probably find very cheap aftermarket springs but at that point you have to start asking questions about the quality. Really cheap stuff is cheap for a reason.
I would replace one spring if it was a genuine spring that was going on but if it was aftermarket I'd replace the two. I only replaced the one broken spring on my car. The part that went on was identical to the one on the other side it behaves perfectly. For me it's worth paying a little more to get a part you know is right and is going to work properly. Over the years I've had mixed results with aftermarket bits. Some of it was so bad I took it straight back off, it just depends on the part.
I only ever fit Lemforder Germanyfor arms, bushes etc, bilstein for shocks, pagid for brakes and was sachs for clutches and springs as I thought sachs was still sachs and not another company using their name. Now I know.
if the car was mine i would have fitted eibach pros as used these on bmw before and know they are by far a superior spring but it's not mine lol.
The car now sits correct height and is actually a little less harsh over bumps which is actually good. I read somewhere on here before about the harsh ride of these and recommendation was the shocks, this is not my experience though. The spring is definitely the place I would start. Eibachs are progressive. Good bump absorbing and perfect stiffening in the twists. Then I would look at b6 shocks for sprty ride or sport actives but a fresh set of b4s ( factory spec) are very good with eibach. Sorry went off topic lol
