That's a job I don't look forward to but in the next couple of month, I will replace them.
Springs do not lose "rate" with time. They only lose load capability. So if your car is riding really low, that might be a problem. But if the ride height is near stock, don't waste your time changing springs - they aren't the problem.

Have you looked at all the jounce bumpers to make sure they are present and the rubber is compliant?
