Is the problem that they do look good or that they don't work well? As I remember from you previous posts, your Rudy is only a year or so old. I don't so how the springs could have possibly rusted unless you have been playing your horn in the swimming pool.
Buy a set of Meinl Weston or B&S springs and put them on. If the action is too light, you can increase the tension in the springs by grabbing the tails of the springs (two on each spring) and pulling until the feel of the valve suits you. Be sure to pull and equal amount on each tail.
Be sure to pull on tails of you valve springs, not the tails of your pets. The results will be far less pleasant.
