you buy stock style springs where you buy any stock type of parts, part zone, pep boys (i'm not sure what you guys have in the states, all are named different up here, but your basic parts store is what you want)

you can check on the moog website, and check what spring # is used for your car, then check with a year newer, older, etc. Then search and find the spring rates for those springs.
ie, the 5662 is probably what you'll end up buying for the fronts. the 5660 is slightly more tame. the 5664 is only for S15 trucks really, but it fits the same, and is even stiffer.

rears you have the choice of cc635 (variable rate, aka "cargo coil"), or.... I forget the straight rate style part #, but I bought cc635's for mine. The parts store should be able to look them up, just tell them your car, and say the heavy duty suspension one.
