Coil Spring life?

So just how long do coil springs last? I have never heard of a set "wearing out", but wonder if they actually do. My Eibach set has 110K on them now and I may look into replacing them if need be.

I heard performance suspention is good for 50-80K but thats just shocks.
Unsure about springs, but I could see them wearing out.

Its good cuz you get a free lowering kit when they sag lol

springs have a cycle life, they will wear out and yes you wount know till they snap. springs dye from the point you install them and gradually get weaker as time goes by, you cant tell cus you grow acustom to them. i say about 100k for o/e springs and about that for perf(they tend to last longer due to the larger diameter of the coils) 8)
