I get most of my parts from eeuroparts.com, you can get oem aero springs there. plenty of other sources too.
but before you buy springs ... well .. dont buy springs.
I'm guessing that the car is sagging in the rear? New springs will help but only for about 6 months ... at which point they will be sagging same as they are now. (I, and many of us on the forum, know this from bitter experience)
the thing to do is get spring spacers to restore the car to the proper ride height.
you will also want to replace the bushings and shocks as well back there. The key is:
- replace the wear items (everything but the springs)
- restore the ride height using spacers.
- quality alignment, from a really good shop.
