Here's just two I found:

I found some for cheaper at Acme Guitar Works and I would have suggested them, but recently I've heard of delayed and unreceived orders from them.

By the way, you can also tighten the craw that holds the springs to the body to tighten up your Trem. If you have space between the wood in the body to the back edge of the craw and most folks do, then simply tighten the screws holding the craw (moving it closer to the wood) and it will put more pressure on the existing springs you have already.
Hi Strat Talk

I appreciate you looking into this but thats not what im looking for.... Sorry its probably the way ive explained it.

You know where you screw in the arm for the trem, when thats in there seems to be a bit of give and i was told this could be reduced/fixed by placing a small spring in there.

Hopefully that makes sense.
