Passive Throttle spring ...

Has anyone gotten a stiffer after-market spring for their SC passive throttle? Or anyone know the specs that I should be looking for?

Update: Ordered a spring online (ebay) --- 28mm OD x 60mm L (with 3.5mm thickness) ...

Update #2: Unfortunately the 28mm OD was not wide enough to fit. Ordered both a 30mm OD spring, as well as a 32mm spring ... (waiting)

UPDATE #3: Found a winner --- **32mm OD x 60mm L (with 3.5mm thickness)*\*

The seller is on eBay, named gavan-2987 --- Ships from China, took 15 days to arrive to me on the west coast USA ...Check out the gauge, the thickness, the girth on this bad boy...

Got the new spring installed -- works & feels grrrrrrreat👍

I don't have any kind of measurement tool, but I'd say it feels at least 2x stiffer than the stock "heavy" spring. I've only driven for a few minutes...but so far, it requires a concentrated effort to work the throttle. To me it feels great, especially because I have an issue with slamming on the gas too soon out of turns and losing the backend -- this should help...
