Exclamation Where Can I Buy Coil Overs In The U.s.a.?!

Maybe i'm really stupid or something but i can't find any rear coil overs in the u.s.. My car will have a 6 speed g-50, heavy water-cooled 4 cylinder engine, and sit on 18X10's in the rear with 6 pot cayenne brakes front and rear(pics coming as soon as lanner@vdubcustoms gets the parts back to me)... So, it'll be heavier than most std irs beetles. I'm thinking a 350 pound spring rate. I ultimately only want to use bilstein, but I want the shocks to be adjustable, bound, rebound, and ride height. If anyone knows of a coil over that compares to bilstein...any coil over that i can use in the rear of my 400 hp, heavy 74' std beetle, that would be the best news i've had in a long time.

Please let me know of any distributors on american soil that can provide some suspension modifications for my beetle .

P.S. The car will have no interior, lexan, no rear seat, full cage, and i want it to HANDLE.

If i was still putting on vw running gear, that'd be a possibility. I appreciate the reply, maybe someone in the vw community will try something new and this may work for them. GL.com seems to be the only community with people going and trying out new things, thanks for the nudge into the crazy door guys.

Does anyone know the part number for the Koni Coil-over in the picture? I found this photo on the Remmelle website.
