It's not that hard to change yourself. You just need a decent jack and jackstands.
I would almost bet your spring is cracked. Everytime I see a post like this it is stock springs. Generally they crack and would not recommend replacing with the same. The Z51 or Z06 springs are more rigid and seem to be stronger.
Easy ride height adjustment; and new fully adjustable shocks as well.

Wick C5, my C5 has the Real-time dampening system (Tour/Sport/Performance). Would a Z51 spring affect that system? Plus, how much stiffer a ride would there be Tour mode? I prefer the softer ride on the freeways and have Sport/Performance modes if in the twisties. Thanks.

lionelhutz, thanks for the suggestion, but I really don't need a Z06 version. I'm not a racer. I just want stock that doesn't make my frame bottom out in and out of drive-ways. But thanks...I'm not there...I like the smooth ride of my C5, with the occassional Sport/Performance capabilities in the twisties.

Either way good luck.
