Energy Syspension has what you want. I am doing poly on my car in a couple of weeks. Rubber would have been fine as I will be in the ground before they rot out. I am waiting for a nice sunny day to shoot some pics in the same spot my first car was photographed. Then up on stands to replace all the front end bushings etc.

Rock Auto is good for international shipping.  Rock Auto at minmum is a great catalog for at least looking up part numbers.  When I did my front end, I just ordered Moog and Spicer front end and steering components.  PST also makes complete kits, and some guys here have used them with good success.
Like John posted, there are lots of resource for parts number and info in the Reference section of the forum.  The link he listed is for the energy suspension part numbers.
There are also these links:
 
Stock Replacement Suspension Part Numbers:
 
 
Coil Spring Specs:
 
 
Suspension Bushing Differences:
