Let me know,
You need to buy sprockets made for Shimano 8s or 9s systems. see the difference here.

They can come from anybody, as long as they're made for Shimano 8s. Sram and many other non Shimano sprockets use the same spline Campagnolo, doesn't.

BTW- people throw away cassettes when smaller sprockets wear out. In many cases the middle and larger sprockets are fine. If you know what size you want and ask, someone here might give you a slightly used sprocket for the cost of postage and a beer.
