I use the stock M&P rod, which is steel threaded with a small bolt. If you want to change springs, put the lower end into a soft-jaw vice and unscrew the bolt with a miniature socket. Hang on to the spring!!
The stock S&W M&P RSAs are superior to any aftermarket RSA hardware you can buy. The longer rods made for the Wolff piano wire springs WILL NOT WORK with the flat wound springs.
IMHO, an extra stock RSA for $13 is all you will ever need.
PS I carry in my competition bag a spare trigger spring and a spare striker assembly for my M&P. I have broken those. While I have replaced several 1911 (piano wire) springs in matches, I have NEVER had any trouble with M&P stock ISMI RSAs.
