I bought a BHP from aim and was recommended to replace the firing pin  and recoil springs. Is it OK to run an extra power recoil spring with standard 9mm ball? Is it OK to run an extra power firing pin spring with the original hammer spring?

Yes. Some people have run a 18.5lb recoil spring from Wolff. Lately, the common practice  seems to be running the standard 17lb recoil spring.

You will have no issue's with Wolff extra power recoill (18lb) or firing pin springs using ball ammo. Currently Browning has a large supply of springs at a can't be beat price.

I have and continue to use only Browning Hi Power springs in my BHP with zero problems. I do not see the logic in going to a much heavier spring.

The problem is that Midway has the browning recoil spring, but not the firing pin spring.  Brownells has the firing pin spring but not the recoil spring, and I really don't want to have to pay for shipping twice for what essentially is one order

Just buy a bunch of other stuff to make it worth.  If you spend $150 at Brownells  shipping is free.

My mk3 HP runs fine with the Wolff springs, eats anything. I changed the recoil, hammer and firing pin ones.

I would be surprised if Browning didn't have both in stock at this time?
