If you want a more thoroughly engineered solution I suggest:
1) 60mm thrust washer directly on the spring perch. Maybe the HPA thrust sheets (made by Swift) will fit, but I can't say for sure.

2) A spring pad adapter to take up some of the 5mm play when using a 2.5" spring on a 60mm size perch.

Its a 60mm spring. I don't even understand how a 2.5" spring would work on this.
