Default RE: Shocking

Does anyone know of a supplier for compression springs which sells by the part? I keep trying different spring rates but it's tough... the spring diameter must be no more than about .610" and the length can be between 1.75" and 2.25". So far I have springs from McMaster Carr which have a compression load of ~21lbs. As I add electronics and other parts I will need to increase this but I'm having trouble finding heavier springs.
