Elsewhere I have suggested that Athearn motor brush springs are of the same length and diameter, and are softer.

Athearn is a manufacturer of HO scale model railroad items. The part number for the motor brush springs is 84014. You should be able to find them at major hobby shops.

Good luck with your suspension mod.

That's WAY better than what I was gonna suggest...

I just scrounged until I found an old pullback sand rail that had front/rear suspension and the springs were the right size and softer than stock zz-m.
