sagging 412 rear spring

Hello,
Does anyone have a source for the rear spring of a 74 VW412?
Mine sags quite a bit, it looks like I'm accelerating really hard even when standing still. Image

You will need to whip one off another type4. Someone told me that Ford Capri springs work (do you know of them?). However I have never tested this. I have recently found a motorsport shop near me that sells springs in all shapes and sizes, so maybe there is a shop like that near you?

Just out of interest is it a varient or saloon?
