Timframe of Replacing Shocks and Springs

Hey Guys,

So I have over 110k on the car now and was thinking of what is the recommended timeframe to replace the shocks and springs or struts on the car ?

Or if things seem okay just keep them, I don't see anything leaking out of the current shocks.

I was thinking of replacing mine at 60k, but maybe once I get new tires the ride won't be so bad.

Most current OEM shocks & springs (unless you have terrible salt in your area) should outlast the life of your car (granted you drive carefully and don't have crappy roads).

I have 69k miles on my car and recently had some springs break on me but the shocks held up just fine through the whole ordeal that I was unaware of the spring problem.. In short I agree with NiteQwill..
