Okay, you are approaching being borderline paranoid, or possibly jerking my chain. Not sure which.
Springs work fine. They have for over 70 years that I'm aware of, so don't worry about. In my 43 years of driving (I'm 59 now) I only had one instance where the throttle hung open. In that case it was a 66 Chevelle with an L88 in it. The motor mount broke and the engine torque twisted the motor enough that it stuck. During that time, I have had a lot of performance vehicles and only one issue.
And like I said, 99% of the "Throttle Stuck" stories are because the driver phucked up.
