Springs are always part of larger LEGO component, right?  Shock absorbers
and large pneumatic pumps come to mind.  Are there other places they are used?

Yes, but these parts may be more or less squeezed depending on use, and
subparts may be used to make them longer or shorter. Only spring length must
be adjusted... Granted, that use much less important than true flexible parts.

Philo,

  The springs are synthesized parts for sure.  I don't percieve the shock
absorber parts as much different than ends of hoses.  The shock absorber
pieces placement and orientation define where the springs should be.  I just
wanted to make sure that there were no stand alone springs.

  With stand alone springs, we'd need to have a way to define the spring
location, orientation and diameter.
