Your best bet is someone who deals with late-model Corvettes - although I couldn't find it in a quick search...

Peruch,

I have never seen Carbon Fiber springs. However, composite springs are quite common.

You might wish to try:

GMI Composites

We have looked at their products for use in the anti-roll bar blades on the JBL. Their stuff looks good and you can buy stock in any number of widths and thickness to give the rates that you need.

I was just adjusting my spring: very similair to the Vette rear but with less spring constant because of the difference in weights of a 3400 lb vette and my 2200 lb Hunter.

VMP springs 1800-237 9991
