Where to buy 60mm coilover springs?

Anybody know of an inexpensive source for 60mm coilover springs? Looking for some roughly 9 in and with a rate of 300-350 lb/in. Seems the Eibach ERSs are pretty pricey at the places I've seen. Anyone know where to get them cheap, or used?

http://www.truechoice.com/ has ERS springs for $55 each. $55-70 each seems to be the "going price" for race springs. Ground Control, Pegasus, Tri-Point, Essex, etc. all sell Eibach or Hypercoil springs.

Are 60mm springs the same as 2.25" or 2.5" ID?

If you have a local race shop, they are likely to have a stock of used springs. I don't know how much of a deal you'll get on them. I paid $100 for a pair of used springs once.

Thanks Max...$52 was the cheapest I found at Shox.com, which now seems like quite a deal. Maybe we should start an online trading program . The increments on the Hypercoils seems to be better (25 lb/in), but seem to be a bit more pricey.

Unfortunately 60mm falls right between 2.25 and 2.5 inch ID..Eibach makes ERS springs which are exactly 60mm but they are significantly more expensive(like double) than the 2.25 or 2.5. My spring perches are 60mm, and I'm going to roll the dice and try to fit 2.25s on.
