When I bought new springs from Bunnings, I just ran the hacksaw through the middle of them to get the right length. A bit of work with a file to smooth off the cut end and they seem to work fine.

But can you compress those springs somewhat more? The more compression, the firmer the mirror will be held in place. And that may pull your primary back the few more millimetres you are looking for?
