Not sure what spring you mean, like the one built into the e-brake bracket? Those I believe are available repop, the whole assembly. AMD and Dynacorn make them. Look at the Ames catalog.
A quick search shows they do repop just the spring...

G-bodies and S10's used metric calipers on the front. And you're right, they aren't sufficient to stop of heavy car. At least not repeatedly anyway. There's not enough pad volume.
Same complaint with the Wilwood Dyna series of calipers and the Bear SS4. People buy these and put them on the front of their muscle cars, then complain about how they perform in spirited driving.
They put calipers on a 3600+ lbs performance muscle car that were really meant for the rear or a 2800 lb street rod and expected them to do well in a performance driving situation.
