Coilovers and helper / keeper springs?

Im after some advice - my new cars got coil overs in it. The suspension is incredibly hard - too hard in fact - but thats not the main concern, which is that the coils are not captive when the cars jacked up. Im told there are "helper" or "keeper" springs avail.
So does anyone know where i can get some keeper or helper springs from? Ideally i would want them to be progressive - so they might even take aleviate a little of the harsh ride that i currently suffer.
Your thoughts people?
thanx.

Hi,
You can get keeper springs from Whiteline:
http://www.whiteline.com.au/
They might not be on the website but I know they have them. They will not be progressive as they serve no purpose as far as acting as part of your suspension. They do one thing:
Keep your spring captive when your cars suspension is at full drop (jacking the car up, jumping the tripple etc) When the car is not at full drop the keeper (which is a very light flat spring) is full compressed.
Hope that helps

Thnx for that. I thought they might have, but didnt see any on the web site.
Im now toying with the idea of replacing the main coils with progressive ones that are longer instead of adding keepers... ill email whiteline n see what they suggest  Hope they can ship to NZ too..
thanx.
