king springs, or any spring place. They are a 'standard' diameter, as used in a lot of coilover kit.

standard stanza strut body on the left, shortened coilover on the right ...

Cheers guys for the plugs. Dat5 welding them on is very simple, if your interested i can do it for you, as im in adelaide too. Springs can be a bit of trial and era, but not to hard to get right. I have a CA18DET in a ute and im using 175 pound Kings with a free hight of about 225mm. Good ride hight(LOW), reasonably firm, Could be a bit stiffer for track use, but for road use great.
