What are you looking for first of all, someone may know of an obscure supplier who deals with what you're looking for, or have a cross-reference for a spring on an OEM application that can be utilized...

what is so odd about them? Can you not modify your perches to accept standard 2.5" ID springs? Any spring rate you desire is avaliable in that size.
On the rear of my 850 I machined some delrin and aluminum adapters to hold the 2.5" spring and adjustable perch. I can change spring rates with a phone call to hypercoil.

That is just a Fox Mustang spring in a different # rating. So no real need to go custom unless you need a ultra-specific rating.

Maximum Motorsports sells Fox springs in various rates. If it were me I would just convert to coil over. The T-bird is just a rebodied Mustang.

Wasn't you. A Canoer was hocking handbags for coilsprings. Captian Tom sank 'em.

Hmmm, that might be my solution to finding suspension for the Accent.
Thanks failboat!
