I have replaced garage door springs at least a dozen times in my life and I haven't spend $350 total to do all of them. My last time was this past September: $30 for pair of springs a Lowe's and couple of retention cables.
Buy the correct size springs for your door. It's all about the weight of the door. Your broken springs have a color painted on them. Buy springs with the same color as that indicates the load it is designed for. Springs are sold in pairs. Change them BOTH even if only one broke.

If you are speaking about a spring on each side of the rail that guides the door up and down then it is pretty easy. If you are speaking of the single spring above the door don't even think about doing it yourself. Pay the freight.
I see you said two springs but wanted to make my point and save someone a hospital trip.
