Where can I buy replacement IROC springs?

My car's suspension has sagged a little bit over the past 16 years, and I'm planning on replacing the springs. Being that I have an IROC, my springs are stiffer than the other Camaro models. Would an auto parts store have IROC springs, or just the "standard" springs? Or, are there aftermarket springs that I could go with? I want my car to remain the stock height.

I got mine from NAPA, they are re-boxed Moog. Good parts.

Look up your car, and get the diameter, installed height (that's the height of the spring, not the car), and the type of ends; then go to the buyer's guide in the back of the catalog and find the stiffest ones you can find with a somewhat lower installed height than your stock listing, and the highest "rate" possible. I can tell you, there's one part # that will jump out at you, it's got a rate of about 700-some lbs/in; that's the one you want.
