My car was in for an MOT yesterday, the garage have shown me the 2 broken rear springs and the OSF broken front spring.
The garage has said they will get 4 springs from the motor factor or I can search and get Genuine Volvo springs or other after market springs, what the general opinion.

If you suggest aftermarket springs who would I get them from

The car has done 81K miles

I live in East Lothian, Scotland
Local main dealer recently quoted £980 not incl VAT to change 2 rear springs and do a total re-bushing of rear end. Not in a position to do it myself anymore took it to my local garage who sorted it out with genuine volvo parts for £345 incl VAT. And back on my drive same day.
Like others have already stated I’m not sure there is much difference between OME / after market with the exception of price
