Source for decent quality 2.5" spring isolators

I have a little trouble finding spring isolators with 2.5" ID for my Fiat. All I find are fiberglass or plastic isolators, I don't trust these materials with my 1200# springs.
I installed the stock struts and lowered the car, so I need to install a tender spring (I like the zero rate ones from HyperCo).
Any links to a supplier?
Thanks

Swift has alum ones.

Mako, thanks for the link. They sell the HyperCo tenders, but the Hyperco isolators are hard plastic and bulky (prone to crack).
Richard, who sell Swift locally or on-line? They have the proper isolators with steel spacers to avoid binding. I found a place that sells torrington bearings, but these bearing are painful to keep clean.
I had the Genesis isolators in a JRZ double adjustable suspension I bought and sold last year, it was going to be installed in a BSP/SSM/XP Cayman, but I gave up on the project. No idea where to find those Genesis isolators but they were very nice.
Thanks

Wow, I never really knew how expensive spring isolators are! Those are nice in that they don't reduce the clearance on the inside of the springs.
