Default Need helping sourcing springs

Anyone know of a spring supplier on the east coast, preferably close to Mid-A area that would stock lots of coilover springs? It's very last minute but I'm trying to order some today in hopes that they are close enough to get here tomorrow so I can put my coilovers back together before the weekend.

I'm looking for the following

2 - 750lb 6" long, 60mm ID or 2.5" ID
2 - 650lb 6" long, 60mm ID or 2.5" ID

I know the Hyperco/Eibachs are rated in lbs while the Swift uses the metric K for rate. If they are Swifts I definitely need a pair of 12k, and the other pair can be 13k or 14k.

Pay for overnight shipping? I know Ground Control has six billion Eibach springs listed.

^I don't really need them that bad. Not so much I'm going to pay an extra $50-75. I can put everything together using my existing springs it just means I'll have to pull them off the car and back apart again at a later date....which is probably what I'll end up doing.

I've seen a few of your posts and I think your pretty much building the exact setup I am thinking about lol. Next autocross season if you run in va beach area or I run across ya would be cool to take a ride and see how those clubsports work

If they'd get back to ACU4 I'd come down a lot more often. Pungo just doesn't do it for me.

I love the Clubsports but honestly there is no way I'd pay the price for them brand new. If I was buying new I'd just stick with the V3s. For the Clubsport price you can spend a little bit more and get an even nicer setup.

Along with these springs I'm working on fitting some Civic/Integra Ground Control extended tops so that I can get back some of the strut travel I've lost running the car as low as I do. I won't raise it so it's the next best thing. Plus I'm not convinced the Clubsport tops really make all that much of a difference.
