79 cutlass coil springs

I have a 79 cutlass supreme with a BBO in it. I'm having a hard time findinga suitable spring for the front. Anyone have any suggestions on what to use?

I referenced the moog spring chart and looked on rockauto and selected the heavy duty ones. Moog makes some good quality parts

Thanks for the info. I tried the moroso trick springs and they sag bad.

At most the 455 weighs all of 50 lbs more than the 260 that came in these cars. Do you really need new springs?
