1911 Experts

While I know how to completely take a 1911 apart, I need some help.
I bought a complete upper in 9mm, made by Springfield Armory ($250, much cheaper than Kimber quoted me). It had never been on a frame, and came with a complete slide, barrel with link, bushing, and ejector, and one magazine. I measured the groove in the ejector for the pin, and duplicated it into the new ejector and installed it. Everything works as it should.
Here is the question. Will I have to change the recoil spring? The gun was a full size Kimber TLE II. What kind of magazines work best with the 9mm??

What kind of magazines work best with the 9mm??
I use the Colt magazines specifically made for 9mm. They have a integral spacer in rear portion of the mag, to make up for the shorter overall length of the 9mm, as compared to the .38 Super. I've had functioning problems In the past, when I have attempted to use .38 Super Mags for 9mm cartridges.
