Default Broken rear coil spring

I've been looking at the online retailers and see struts and also strut/springs sold together but not just springs. I'm not real smart with this stuff so forgive my ignorance.
So where would I find them, obviously if one were buying struts like those KYB's it seems everyone uses, you would also need springs. I just don't see them anywhere.
Should I also change out the strut when I deall with the spring . probably never been changed, but they seem fine. '99 150 000 miles.

your shocks/struts are probably bad at that mileage so i would replace them with the spring swap.

i am sure there are members here that can give their factory springs for the costs of shipping, or you can use car-part.com to source a used one from your local junk yard.
