Hi Jimmie, 260 rear springs are tricky/expensive to get hold of at the moment - fronts easier I think.

Worth mentioning on the Two-Sixties too, as below. Which number is your car (last three digits)?

The 75's have different shocks and springs all round, I've just bought and fitted (yesterday actually) new shocks all round and new front springs, but rear's at the moment are like hen's teeth, you could however fit the VHS kit, this will set the car about 15-18mm lower than a ZT and be a bit stiffer, a few of the guys on two-sixties have just fitted it and rate it highly.

If you're not already on two-sixties you should join up, there are bits and pieces which are hard (if not impossible) to find being reproduced, but you really need to be on there to get access.
