I have been told, "Run an 18.5 recoil with a 25 mainspring and a flat bottom firing pin stop. This combination has been shown in empirical testing to result in a final slide velocity on par with a 1911 in standard form in 45 acp running 230 ball." I already have the flat bottom FPS, got one from EGW. I wanted to come here and ask, since I know nothing about springs. Are these the right ones to get? I am guessing these are the ones I want to get and not the variable power ones, but I honestly don't know.

If these are the right ones, what are the variable power springs for?
Those are the springs I run.
Variable power springs have a couple of applications, which are not needed in a full size 1911 since there is plenty of space for a sufficiently powerful traditional spring.
