I use losi mini t springs and jeep in Doug spring cups, or a 10/40 well nut works good just cut brass part off.

I have actually tried looking on McMaster-Carr's website because they are so cheap but my stuff is for a MRC and I can't seem to find springs on it with the right dimensions. Since yours sound to be a larger shock you may have more luck.

If you can get these to work for them you could get a bunch of springs for cheap.

What do you mean troll this post? No one has said a single thing to you fishing for you to reply. Or do you not know what the term trolling means?

I just looked on Amain hobbies and see they have Kyosho springs that seem to fit those shocks. Not cheap though.

Giving us some ideas of what springs you've tried would help, save us rattling off what you already know doesn't work.
Actually putting in 30 seconds effort to measure the spring cup or the body so those of us that don't have Kyosho shocks but do have others could measure a spring & give you guidance would help also.

Having said that I can tell you for what it's worth from the springs i have here, actually measured
Axial Wraith springs are 14mm ID
Traxxas big bore springs are 15mm ID
& ProLine ProSpec springs are 16mm ID
I think I remember my buddy at work telling me Durango sct springs are 16mm ID as well, but again I stress think, not certain, check that before buying.
Hope that's of some help.

I spring mine the same way, with one more step. I'm lucky to have a small lathe, so I make my own spring cups and turn a small grove in the o-ring cup to hold the spring a little better.
My kids live in Eagle Point.

I didn't have springs on them when I got the shocks .I tried Traxxas t Maxx springs are 2 big . I have a set that fit the cups great but they rub on the shock body . Don't Wana scratch up the shocks cause I got over 110 in them .lol

I'd run the mini t springs but I think they will be to soft on my cpe terminator chassis . Lookin for a 2 lb spring I think would be ideal . I'm pretty sure they measure aprox. 100 mm eye to eye ...thank u guys for the replys

If you don't want to scratch them leave them in a package or put them on a shelf queen. All the softer springs sprig rates you would run on a crawler will deflect some and rub the body of the shock.
