Hiya Klaus,
I had not considered a used spring. However retrieving one from a local pick and pull would add considerable time to the endeavor, Plus there's the chance that might not end up being offered one of the same suspension code, as I gather there are multiple.
Not that I have been able to determine the suspension code for my car. The "Product Identification Plate" isn't where IPD and the rest of the internet says it should be. The owners manual points to a plate (sticker) which provides paint and market codes, but none for such details as the suspension. The offending spring has a white and a pink dots on it, which might correspond to Code 42, according the the pictures I see for Volvo PN 31280486... But that's getting out into the weeds.
