Berlinetta Springs

im looking for rear springs for my 85 berlinetta. the problem is all the parts stores here in town have listings for every sub-model but berlinetta.
i.e.
IROC (excluding berlinetta, z28, sport coupe)
Z28 (exc. berlinetta, iroc, sport)
Sport Coupe (exc. Berlinetta, iroc, z28)
and finally, heady duty (exc. berlinetta, iroc)

those are my options from all 3 local parts stores. i find it hard to believe they're that different. is there at least one close enough to use? maybe even from a firebird?

p.s. same thing with fronts, but they're not needed (yet)

Re: Berlinetta Springs

They should be the same from any model. I would get a set of Eibach lowering springs
