Default any good alternatives to Red/Brown front springs?

i have a snapped front spring on my ZTT diesel, are there any good alternatives available rather than being bent over by Rimmers?

They have been on nearly a year and are still springing, fitted new genuine shocks at the same time to help dampen the springing a bit though.
