Default 1994 rear spring damaged

After looking underneath my car today I saw some pretty bad damage on the right side of my rear spring. It has a cut and is split open. Whoever had the car before tried to fix it with some type of epoxy or god knows what but obviously that didnt work. What year springs are interchangeable with mine?

its delaminiating, nothing you can do with it except toss it.

1984-1996. All C4 rear springs are interchangeable, although there are several different spring rates.

Vette Brakes & Products (VBandP.com) can "cook up" (literally) whatever spring rate you desire. Their prices are reasonable, plus their mounting system is easier and less complicated than the stock mount.
I installed one (my original spring was delaminating and looked like an angry porcupine) and am very happy with it.
