Replacing Coil Springs?

I have a 2006 TL with 185k on it. Im about to swap the front struts which are KYB Gr2's the right one is leaking. Im getting Koni yellows, question is do i get new springs? They are definitely OEM springs, and look old. They don't look broken.
Any suggestions? or should i keep the old springs?

The rears certainly sag over time, the front's may be OK. The yellows have a lower perch and higher one so use the proper one with OEM suspension vs lowered suspension.

either that or you can get a decent set of coil like Tein Street Advance, just make sure set it close to stock height. Heeltotoe carries and it decently cheap.

Thanks for the reply, So I looked at tien springs and they all lower the car. But im only replacing the front so I dont exactly want that.

If/when my car needs struts, I'm going to use the OEM 2007-2008 Type-S strut assemblies at all four corners.
