CAUTION: If you use an acid etcher to clean your original springs, you must follow up to ensure the acid is neutralized with a base & the parts must be heated in an oven to drive off any residue. If not, the metal suffers from Hydrogen Embrittlement, which causes the metal to break and fracture from any stress such as compressing them. Read about it on Wiki.
