Back in the 70s when I was doing small arms repair for Uncle Sam, the 1911A1 recoil spring had a spec'ed length in the manual. Shorter than that, it was replaced. The firing pin spring had to be longer than the firing pin. if not, it was replaced.
All other springs I recall, (all guns) were (absent visible defects, kinks, rust, etc.) function or replace. If it passed function check it was good. IF not, it was replaced.
If you want to replace springs before you need to replace springs, its usually cheap and easy.
