Shocks won't blow for 25k+ miles. Couple years for me at least, and now to answer your question.

I will be getting a coilover set soon.

Over a year and 1000 track miles on my H&R Sport Springs and stock shocks...7000 miles total. No issues. When and if I do have issues I will most likely get coilovers.

I've been running the springs only for a year and 25K miles and no issues...I doubt my shocks are about to go. With that being said, I am going to be running coilovers sometime in the near future, as I want the more comfortable ride.
