Snapped spring in half

So my firebird is ridding real rough, I start checking out the suspension. My rear drivers side spring is snapped in half. So i'm looking for replacement springs. Factory one for now, moneys tight. Is there a differance in the v-6 and v8 rear springs. I know there are a bunch of v6 cars in the junk yards around here, but not many v8's Any help would be great. And I did a search and came up with nothing.

You have a ws6 v6 springs would be alot softer and throw the balance off.

I have a pair of rear WS6 springs I can part with. I sold a pair of rear V-6 on ebay a while back for $20 plus like $15 shipping. Let me know if your interested.
