The springs i use where from a rc car that is discontinued for a long time now (Venom Racing Creeper) http://www.rcgarage.com/venom-creeper-crawler-shocks-1-pair-red-ven-8385re.html but if you look at the RC Car brand 'Axial RC' you can find long size springs they don't need to be stiff or soft they only need to 'wobble' the plate holding the paint.
Maybe you can even use some fuel line or a hose for this part.
For example (the size may be different!)
Axial Racing AXIC1297 Spring 14x90mm 2.25 lbs/in - Green (2pcs) (Blue Springs)
