6" will be too short for 250 or even 400. you need be running 550+ for something that short.
I don't have any extras, but you can buy springs from trackspeed engineering, summit racing, and this site:

As for the sleeves, yea you will probably have to ebay that. I don't know anyone who makes sleeves for us other than the ground control kit and that comes with springs already. (which might not be a bad alternative)

I mean the ground control sleeves aren't that nice. Some of the Ebay kits come with two locking rings. The springs are 2.5 by 7 Eibach springs. Why don't I just use 400 or 350 and 250 QA1 racing springs they should be. How can springs be different?

Let me check my garage. I know I have a few sleeves, but they may have been trimmed to fit the Illuminas. I also have some springs, see below. They're yours for the cost of shipping, if you're interested. Also, I can snap pictures if I can locate them in the garage. Springs are just over what's the recommended maximum for the Illuminas, and too tall for them as well.
Wire diameter: .485 in.
Coil Diameter (center to center): 2.995 in.
Number of coils (free/active): 6.5 / 4.5
Spring length: 7.3 in.
Calculated spring rate: 465 lb/in
