Clifford, I buy mine from a local race car fab shop (Drews Automotive).   They happen to specialize in off road vehicles, but most race shops buy these in bulk and I have found they will sell a smalll number like you need for a few bucks in the coffee tin.  Not sure if you have anything like that close to you?

Dave if your source has what Clifford needs I'd buy them a whole can of coffee and pay for the shipping!

I just checked and have a bunch of 1", but only a handful of the 1-3/8.   I will check with the local shop and see if I can get some for you Clifford.   Will let you know tomorrow.

I get them here, I have some 1 3/8" ones but not 30.  They come in two heights, and the studs come in different lengths.  https://www.pegasusautoracing.com/productdetails.asp?RecID=11189 (https://www.pegasusautoracing.com/productdetails.asp?RecID=11189)

Hi Clifford, I checked with the local shop and he has some 1 3/8 springs in stock, but said he stocks 3 heights.  He has a bunch of the extra tall (0.525), and a few of the short (0.325) and standard (0.425) height.   Do you know what height you need?  FYI, he said he mostly sells the standard or extra tall ones as they have more flexibility to adjust the height after installation.
