Springs

My LE edition has just under 180km on it and I have replaced all four struts and two bushing in the front. My cousin who is a mechanic told me by 200k the springs will be 100% shot. I was wondering if some people can give me an idea for a good replacement. Should I just buy the same OEM springs from toyota or an aftermark beand? I'm not looking to lower my car I just want the springs replaced. Also what would be the estimated price for the spring replacement if I brought it into a shop. Thanks for the help.

If your springs are not sagging then I wouldn't worry about replacing them.

How do you know if they are sagging though?

well i dont hear any loud noises driving over anything but I'm guessing that's because my struts only have like 2000km on them. Is it easy to tell if the springs are done with new struts?
