OK I know you want aftermarket but I figured the best place to look first was the OEM part #'s and availability: So the OEM GM part #'s are as follows depending on configuration

93179666 COIL SPRING ASTRA; W/AC; W/NON VARIABLE STEERING $142.68
93179402 COIL SPRING ASTRA; W/O AC; MANUAL TRANS $137.92
93179698 COIL SPRING ASTRA; W/O AC; AUTO TRANS $137.92

Found new in Australia for less, not sure if shipping would make sense
Holden AH AH07 Astra Front Springs Set New Genuine OE 93179666 | eBay

Not looking good.

The only other thing I could find was a Complete Monroe Quick Strut for $188 -- which if you think about it, likely turns out to be cheaper than strut + spring + upper mount.

Of course this would only make sense if you needed struts.

Thanks. Found a used right hand strut that is OEM at the scrap yard, will swap the spring with my broken one.

Much appreciated. A car that was only made for 2 years, not everyone wants to make aftermarket parts for em.

I'm sure you saw the Opel Astra and Vauxhall sites when searching.
Depending on exchange rates and shipping costs, might be easier and cheaper to get OEM parts from Great Britain and/or Australia.....

Glad you found what you were looking for
