front coils for engine swap

I have a 454 ci engine swap into an 88 RS that was originally a V6 motor, so there is a significant weight difference. All GM coils are discontinued. Where can I find front coil springs that will handle the extra weight?

Are they too long, or too wide? Or both? Where did you get them?

i think we got them from moroso 3 yrs ago -- they fit in each sides pockets but seem to be too long ! I'm looking to swap to a full race front suspension
