Try McMaster Carr, I've never bought anything from them but have always heard good things. http://www.mcmaster.com/

Their prices are decent too. It's about $45-50 for traction bar hardware.
Another thing is there springs. They sell std 2.5" ID springs in many rates. Just get a set of cheap ebay coilovers and then you can customize them with different spring rates and lengths.

rawr, also search for AFCO performance or some such. They have a lot of pretty swell fabrication stuffs, too.
Ground Control sells HondAcura coilover kits on special for $275 occiasionally. At $50/spring, plus the $40-50 to get the cheap eGay coilovers, it makes more sense to buy a threaded perch that isn't prone to cracking. FYI, GC and most everyone else sells the generic design Eibach or Carrera springs $50/per. *shrug*
