In a stock form, not sure if http://www.paragon-products.com/ got them. For coilover configuration you can try paragon, colemanracing.com or even ebay

The rears are already coil overs...

Go to Coleman racing and get the adjustable perches for the smaller diameter springs.
Then you can get any spring rate you want, and they are a lot cheaper than the normal diameter.

Elephant Racing has them.

Eibach has a catalog where you can order by diameter and spring rate, but not cheap. Thinking about 120$/ pair.

I have a pair of 220 lb springs you can have for $75 plus shipping.

If you need greater than 180 lbs for rear springs, best to swap to the parts that allow the 2.5" diameter (non stock) springs which come in lots of lengths and degrees of stiffness. beerchug.gif
It may be the only option. I did this three years ago and appreciate having spring perches w more adjustments for ride height in the back.

I got some springs from summit racing. But I have true coil over perches from Coleman Racing. I think I paid like $80 for a pair of springs new... Whatever pound you what in 25lb increments. I used 10" springs.

Hi Tom there is a spring place in Surrey by Scott Rd that has springs any shape and size and weight rating. I have them re arc and temper my worn out toyota leaf springs on my truck and also had them lower and stiffen my jetta springs.

Hey thanks Snowy!Im digging the adjustable coilover business..If I can make my Konis work,im in for the smaller dia springs and the adjustability.
How is the car?

I've got koni yellows in the rear.

Shock Diameter I dont believe is the same.. I think I had to have a machine shop machine out the coil perch a few hundreths. This was 10 years ago... but It was like $40 bucks.
