I would replace the bed springs before you get rid of the glass, I was having to level my bed a lot more often after going with a glass bed so I swapped the springs with some stiffer ones. I only level my bed now once every few weeks.
Here is a link to the springs I bought.
EDIT: Make sure to tighten the leveling knobs as far down as possible (monkey tight, not gorilla tight), adjust the end stop until the nozzle is about a millimeter above the highest corner, and then level from there.
I picked up red springs from Tinawood on Amazon and I like them - it seems to have help stabilize the level some, but when I have to force a print off the plate I know I'll likely have to re-level. They're 3-4 mm shorter, but after cranking the yellows down to clear the nozzle, they're long enough to still compress.
I'm considering blue threadlock where the heads sit below the heat bed surface to help deter them spinning and some on the nuts / wheels to keep any resonance from letting them move on their own
