Default OEM Spring Life??

Anybody know the expected life of oem springs (SC300)? If car doesn't show any sag, looks level, are springs still good; or do they lose their suspension quality after a certain number of miles -- 90-100K? I'm replacing shocks -- they are clearly wasted -- with Tokicos at 83K and wondering if it would be worth putting in new oem springs (also considering other spring options) or would I be just throwing away money? Thanks for any feedback.

I would also put on springs. You can get Eibach sc springs that will give you a 1" drop for cheaper than you would pay for 4 new tokicos. Since yoursuspension will be apart, you might as well do it.

If your shocks are shot, you are doing the right thing by replacing the shocks. Springs don't go bad, unless you don't like the ride/look of your car now.
