Springfield Main Spring?

I would like to change the Mainspring Housing on my Springfield Mil-Spec to one without the ILS. However, I know that Mil-Spec's use a lighter titanium firing pin to meet California drop test laws. What strength of Main spring to accompany the gun's lighter firing pin? I want the gun to be 100% reliable, but I still like the idea of retaining its drop-safe integrity.

23lb? Any ideas?
 
9x19, 40 S&W, 45 ACP; yep, three

The ILS stuff is different than standard stuff.

I use Ed Brown 19lb mainsprings in two of my Springfield Armory 1911s (not certain what weight EGW installed in the third that I had them pistolsmith).
