Probably a bit late but try FWD Motors in Brisbane, I bought springs off them from stock, they may still have some. Not exactly the same as the originals but the steel the originals were made with is apparently no longer available. I actually pulled them apart and chamfered and diamond cut the ends and removed a leaf from the front and two from the back and it is much more comfortable than the standard ones. I have had parabolics and was not impressed with the longevity, Sagging more than 70mm on the drivers side within a week for the ones from ****parts is not my idea of great .
