All of the compa racks I've seen used spring seel stampings from
Tinnerman. You might think they are crappy, but they are
inherently vibration resistant. What I think you might be thinking
of are cage nuts:

The subject says it all but I'm looking for a source for stainless
speednuts and screws such as the ones that came with CompaStation
racks. (looking for around 50 sets)
The "usual" sources (like HomeDepot and various hardware chains) only
have the crappy ferrous "spring steel" types.
<---Nope, I am thinking Tinnermans. The crappy ferrous ones I spoke
of before look like their stamped out of 24 gauge steel, then
tempered. The "Motorola" ones I've seen look like they're made from
10 gauge stainless and are much beefier.
Have a look (obviously the stainless one is on the right):
