A spring is defined by wire diameter, free length and number of active coils. Measure yours and google those attributes for one that matches.
Years ago I wanted a specific spring for an autocross application (not Corvette). All the aftermarket companies wanted big coin that I thought was unreasonable. I went through vendor catalogs (pre-internet) and found a spring for a trailer application that was perfect for $29. Won my class that year.

Hi c69,
I'm surprised to hear that.
I was under the impression that they were making the front spring in the original configuration!?!?
Perhaps it's just the rear spring reproduction that they're making?
Sorry to mislead you!
Are you certain that your originals need to be replaced?
