you could also use

rear st141 celica (1984-89) rwd coils 360mm 9-10mm wire or
bommerdore VC - VR rear coils 10-14mm wire. 350mm - 370 mm depending on spring specs factory spec or heavy duty/tow pack etc

as stated my sikid
you could also use
180sx/silvia rear coils
180B 200B coils
also
120y - sunny coils - early bluebird etc etc
and buying from wreckers ud only pay 10-30bucks a pair incl rubber pads

at least that way if thay dont work out you not stuck with coils costing between $110.00 - $220.00 a pair even more for custom coils

hope that helps alittle
cheers d

Off topic slightly, but wouldnt tow pack dunnydore springs be a bit too stiff D. I used to fit these when i was working for holden, and would of though they would be a bit harsh for a car with such a low mass. Though if you inboaded the springs, maybe the extra leverage from the lower roll stiffness might overcome this??

the commodore springs i used were too stiff, they gave a bouncy ride and occasionally parted company with the diff on rough road because they were bearly compressed at rest. i got a pair of lancer coils wich were a lot lighter and smaller in diameter but never got around to fitting them. can;t remember front or rear but it's the smaller diameter wich ever that is
