I think those parts were new with the 1999 sets, but that year was when I came
back to Technic (Throwbots of all things sucked me back in to Lego) so I can't
confirm it. 8445 and 8446 both had one of those springs too, the former uses
it to open the rear hatch over the engine and the latter to open the front
cockpit. I think Silver Champion has them too.
Here, I found it at Technica.

second from the bottom. The basic function is that you push the piston down to
close the door or whatever, then when you hit the release level on the set the
piston comes out slowly and the door glides open. It's really pretty slick
when you see it in operation.
