Moog 5665 rear springs discontinued?

It's getting time to replace the rear shocks and springs in my GTA, and I had pretty much settled on the Moog 5665 springs, except that they seem to be hard to find. I checked Moog's website and they don't list them anymore, only the variable rate rear springs.

Does anybody know if these have been discontinued? If so, does anybody have suggestions for a single rate rear spring? I want to retain stock ride height and handling properties on this car.

Searching Rock Auto, there's the MEVOTECH SMS5665. Is it safe to assume that this is essentially the same spring?

It seems that MOOG isn't the company that it used to be, pretty much the gold standard in suspension parts, past couple years I've heard quite a number of people having issues with their product, MEVOTECH may be the better option at this point
