Unless the spring is really pitted with rust (and therefore weakened) should be fine, Check the front end for play in any of the bushes and bearings, you can get replacement bearings etc if you need, or if all ok, just re-grease and rebuild.
Parts most likely to be shot are the shock absorbers, if it has been sitting a while or had a hard life the seals can go, the shocks loose their oil and don't do their job, personally if they look rough, I'd replace them. I don't know costs for smallframe shocks, but they wont break the bank!
If you are going to replace the back one, they usually come with a new spring as a complete assembly anyway, so check that first before you refurb your old springs.
