These guys supply go-fast stuff for Spridgets.  They also supply
stock parts.  The sway bars they sent me were first-class.  
The springs they handle for the front are a choice of 300 pound/inch and 
510 pound/inch, I think.  They also have different springs available for the 
rear.  Call them for advice if you are going to make changes.

>2. Who has good deals on springs?

The cheapest is often J C Whitney, but you have to check, as it is not always 
that way..  They have some lower front springs that are probably about 
300 pound/inch.
