I suggest fusick.com. I bought rear springs there last year. A little pricey, but original.

I also have a question. I want to change my front springs this year. Does anyone know much about the process? Will the lower control arm drop enough for me to get old spring out and new in? Or, will I need a tool to compress the springs. If I can just slide them out/in with the control arm dropped I was thinking I could compress the new new one with a jack to then be able to reconnect the control arms.

jack up from the outer end of the control arm ... if it lifts the body before the ball joint is connected, have pal sit on the fender ...

If you just want stock height, just go to your local autoparts store- its the same item fusick will sell you at half the cost.

Performance sprigns are a different subject. though.

Cltsneckbob- there have been several postings recently about removing front coil sprigns- take a look in the chassis/suspension section- i posted a link to a youtube on removing sprigns with a floor jack.
