It is amazing how many springs are in these cars when you start thinking about it. Just to give some scale to this one, as NJSteve suggested, here's a picture with a dime, then the spring, then a 1/16" drill bit that slides inside the spring perfectly, a toothpick and I unrolled a little of the new spring wire and that is the last item on the bottom.



It's a little thicker than the thickest human hair, but not a lot.
