98 RL rear coil springs needed

Hey everyone, my passenger side rear wheel is leaning, which means the coil spring has seen better days. I can't seem to find a replacement new or used, any links or suggestions?

Looks like RockAuto doesn't carry the rear coil spring for the 1998 Acura RL

Just rolled over to 200,000 miles. I have owned the car for about a year and put on around 30,000 miles as my daily driver.

A couple of years ago I installed a set of H&R springs on my RL and I currently have all four shocks/springs off my 2000 RL that had 100,000 miles on at the time. PM me if interested.

Not sure if what I read was correct, but read that ‘96 -98 rear springs are different than the 2000 - 2004 cars.

The difference in part numbers is not fit but spring rates.

Throughout the years there were 2 revisions with the springs in which the spring rates were increased.
