    I replaced mine when I did but I was also lifting it so I needed to. I would reccomend it even if you aren't lifting it. The stock springs definitely lose their firmness over time so while you're at it I would say yes.

    So, ? mark (and the Mysterians) what did you decide to do? I replaced the xreas on my '03 with the yellow bilstiens and FJ springs, like it a lot.
    All highway driving however.
