Does anyone know if there are vendors who sale assorted small springs? I want to use small springs to create workable suspensions for Meng Tortoise and tamiya Cromwell. A hobby store in CA use to sell bags of assorted springs,, probably for RC work, a long time ago. But that was a long time ago and I've moved. I also believe that store no longer carry it and current staff doesn't know.

Thanks in advance.

Don't know if they fit your needs but Kadee offers several small springs for their model train trucks and couplers. A well stocked model train store should have them.

Hobby Town may have something you can use

You must have stock in Parker Pen or Cross.
