Or are the USA companies the best option?
Does one company sell a better spring, or are they all equal?

You might want to check on a single fiberglass spring. They are lighter and they give a better ride.

You can still get original ( specs ) springs, I just got a front pair for 75 bucks, I believe they came from Monroe/Moog or something like that I can look on the box. Some companies still make the orginal springs and they aren't too expensive ask you local mechanic.

GM Canada is pretty good for C3 parts. They surprised me at first until I realized that their computer system was linked into the US and they were sourcing depots down there as well as Montreal and Woodstock. Try your local Chev dealer. GM is pricey, however. At least on the initial price. But you buy in $CDN and do not pay brokerage and shipping fees.
